"You build from the ground up."
There is a paradox here and I love it.
Building from the ground up?
To me, the ground we are living on is
one of the most powerful entities on Earth, if not the universe.
The soil that has absorbed centuries of harm,
the waters that have carried away what we could not bear,
the forests that have stood as quiet witnesses to our forgetting.
the waters that have carried away what we could not bear,
the forests that have stood as quiet witnesses to our forgetting.
It matters greatly in the matter of
"people living in dignity and hope".
It matters in "transforming a brutalized society."
To contemplate that transforming our society
from the ground up means starting with
the ground we're living on, fits perfectly
into my idea of what is necessary.
Millions of us understand that healing our earth is not separate
from healing ourselves or our society. It is the same work.
Healing our Earth is a matter of utmost urgency for ALL of us
to be able to live in dignity and hope.
May we contiue the work of transformation—rooted, gently, determined.
May we see it in our minds eye so we can create it in physical reality.
The ground is our guide. Let it show us the way.
It matters.
We matter.
Namaste'
