Love to every child...
a prayer of Love
Love to every child
Love to every creature
Love to every element
Love to every ether
Waking up on this Wednesday morning and finding my heart steadfast and centered into this prayer that came through and to me one morning, about 170-ish days ago…
and here it is, yet again, anchoring me into love and what is possible if we leverage that infinite resource to the whole of who we are, the child we are, the creation we are, the earth we come from as well as the very stardust of Source and Spirit itself that makes you, you and also makes me, me.
We are all these things, and more, and we each and all deserve love to be fed, love to be found, love to be so fully invested within our very centers and circumstances, no matter what. We are worthy. and we are also the ones who ensure we live into our worthiness, we recognize that worthiness, we cultivate from that worthiness, or we do not…
171 days of waking up to Genocide in Gaza while also reckoning with the disbelief of division, silence, “neutrality” (which, y’all, that isn’t really a thing), and even ignorance (which, y’all, is not bliss), has reminded me just how much work there is to do on our planet and with our people - especially when it comes to Love. In 171 days I have fallen over and over again to my knees, I have cried through cracks so hollow and tears have fallen like waterfalls, I have found myself exiting buildings, releasing partnerships, and letting go of dreams, all because those spaces, places, relationships, could not see me, could not hear me, could not help me in this work of listening and honoring the cries and calls of my own heart and humanity and intersection of this here and now in our collective world…
I am not here to be complicit. I am not here to let fear keep me from following and flowing and growing from my own knowings of my heart and soul. I am here to bring light to this world (and so are). I am here to expand my own heart in hopes it encourages and catalyzes another. I cannot look away. I cannot bite my tongue. I cannot bypass my own discomfort just to ensure those who are comfortable can remain comfortable.
I feel and I trust.
And there are no regrets in the choices and changes I have made, only ease.
for what is happening, if even beyond what my eyes will ever have the perception to see or my mind the understanding and comprehension to know, i know it is not right, i feel how unjust it is, and i know that love is a powerful force that is absolutely guiding me through and that’s all i hope to share with you.
so, here i am today, eager, hopeful, intentional, to share this prayer of Love with you:
Love to every child
Love to every creature
Love to every element
Love to every ether
repeat as often as you can and feel called to.
write it down.
sing it out loud.
make art with it.
make magick with it.
send it so widely out.
as well as deeply in.
let this love be found and felt within you.
and let this love be shared and sowed in all you do.
meeting this moment, meeting this now, I feel it is so vital and necessary that we really get intentional and integral with sharing love to all we are and all we are to one another, which is the power of this prayer as well as any practice that centers in love.
As I greet day 171 of Genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza - the Palestinian people never ever leave my heart, and either do the animals, the land, the air they’re breathing in as well as all the winds and waves and world we share.
no separation.
Yet, this moment where I feel so steadfast and strong that we should all be yoking in together, universally uniting with the heart of our own humanity to end the violence, to end the vengeance, to be done with harm, and, as of now, confronted with the very hard reality that that isn't quite so…
at least not yet.
so my question to you as well as to me:
How can we use this day and this now all in service to love?
to every child? to every creature? to every element? and every ether?
I am willing.
I am ready.
and I am hopeful that I am not alone.
