deep down
in between the expansive spaces
Within our molecules
We are eternal.
So don’t you let anything among this
Spectacle of specs of dust
make you feel like you are not enough.
– “Excerpt from Dear Everyone”
Dear Everyone!
You are currently lending me your headspace!
Thank you! I am full of gratitude!
And I love you!
And I love the animals, the insects,
the land, the air, and the water.
And I love the CEO’s of Monsanto, Exxon, Coco Cola
and even Donald Trump too.
(It’s hard, but I’m working on it).
You see my hope is that love will
open the way for heart centered being.
But I am not talking about some
hippy dippy, fru fru,
nimbey pimbey, woo woo
kind of love.
No, honey
I mean it deeply, compassionately,
forever.
I mean that if I am what
the entire universe is doing
at this exact point in space and time
then I can tell you with absolute certainty
that everything that is,
everything that has ever been,
and everything that will ever be
gives thanks for your beautiful presence.
I know sometimes it feels impossible
to be an optimist
When the injustice around us is
As dense as rolling clouds of tear gas,
As thick as the fists of
cops clad in riot gear,
As heavy as the echo of a gunshot.
But trust me.
Fear not.
Destruction and creation are both communal acts.
Talking is a form of grace,
Words first blossomed on our stalky tongues
So we could keep each other safe.
And I swear on the Bible of my quiet breath
That deep down
in between the expansive spaces
Within our molecules
We are eternal.
So don’t you let anything among this
Spectacle of specs of dust
make you feel like you are not enough.
I love you because I choose to.
Illusions are endless delusions
that divide us,
but when anything can be true
we all become the Guru.
The band Wookiefoot definitely said it best
“If love is not the answer,
Then we have asked the wrong question.”
So, how to unite a people divided
Sitting separated in our boxes,
Row after row of home aglow
with the flicker of screens?
LOVE
How do we heal the calloused hearts of all
these filthy rich business men
so they suddenly care more about saving
mother earth and all of her children than
their bottom line?
LOVE
How do we manifest world peace?
LOVE
What will set you free?
LOVE
What is all you need?
LOVE
It is the key that turns everything.
So please do not discard my message
as frivolous or flowery because honey,
I am speaking to you from
my dad’s father’s
dirt poor farmer pragmatism.
I am speaking to you from
my mom’s father’s
incisive corporate acumen.
It’s a fact that our thoughts affect reality.
We all share an interconnected consciousness.
And the people who want peace far outnumber
Those who want war.
They cannot escape the tidal wave
That will come crashing upon
their soul’s shore.
Dear Everyone!
I love you selflessly
because it can’t wait!
The chance to save us from
an otherwise inevitable end
is an urgently smoldering poem,
curling in the fire,
unless we act now.
And adopting this collective perspective,
positing the most positive delusions
and using them to forge new solutions,
is the one thing
that every single one of us can do.
Just as light draws color from water
to grace this place with rainbows,
raising our combined frequency plucks
new possibilities from the very air we breathe.
Baby, we got brains like warm electric blankets,
a patchwork quilt of every changing formations
of conscious constellations
where ever we bring our heads together.
Let’s wrap ourselves in this hive mind buzz,
relinquish fear and love with us.
