Rise With US


I wrote this piece because I was partly inspired by the overwhelming participation of so many amazing and beautiful individuals for the One Billion Rising phenomenon.  I was also pondering this: what can be said to combat those that have strayed away from the path of peace? What can be said to those whom have forgotten from whence they came from?

The depths of a woman far surpasses the journey to the Earth's core or to the cosmos of infamy.  We are Life Givers, Wisdom keepers, Healers, Teachers.  Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters.  We aided in dreaming the World into BEing.  The waters that flow within us connect All to the rivers and seas of Mother Earth and even then only partially contain our emotional capacity.  We live and Breathe Life.  We live and breathe Love.  We live and breathe Emotion.  We live and breathe Intuition.  We are Goddesses whom walk this Earth.  We are the Peace keepers.  We tend the Hearth of the Home.  We bring the sense of 'Home' with us wherever we go.  It is not in our nature to instinctually fight or go to war.  It is, however,  within us to protect those whom we love dearly and when instigated and/or provoked, that ferocity will be unleashed.

When we are raised in a loving environment where we feel safe, cared for and properly supported, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

Together, in unity and solidarity, we are a force to be reckoned with.

And yet, atrocities persist. Avarice is recycled and spread.  This current reality ensues. 
I wish it were not so. Violence, rape, incest are words I hope to never utter again.  

Do not bully us.  Do not hurt us.  Do not abuse us.  Do not fight us.  Do not fear us.  Do not belittle us.
Do not enslave us.  Do not harm us.  Do not shame us.  Do not judge us.  Do not deceive us.

Do not underestimate us.

Instead…

Choose to support us.  Choose to love us.  Choose to grow with us.  Choose to evolve with us.  Choose to respect us.  Choose to honor us.  Choose to shine with us.

Choose to sing with us as we harmonize together in the Song of Life.
Choose to dance with us in rhythms that transcend space and time.
Choose to create with us a world of peace, prosperity, creativity, joy and Love.

Choose to Rise With Us.
