Listen,
You have the power:
You can always do
what you want
You are the power —
You can bring your light
into the world
You feel the power,
vibrant and decisive voice within
that lets you know
what you are here to do,
how to begin
and how to follow through
and how to win
the realization of your grandest vision.
Though you have heard real life consists
of mostly doing things your heart resists,
it is not true,
For here and now
the life that ever brings you forth
aligns you with your joy
and seals your worth.

About this poem: I was walking home from the post office this morning around seven, in the predawn light where early blue began to separate from layered gray, thinking about chem trails and surveillance and the poisoning of the earth, and I realized that these things can only be done if people do them. And that people probably realize they don’t want to do these things, so the one thing that can heal the earth is our realizing we don’t need to do things we don’t want to do. A revolutionary thought, with far-reaching implications . . .
