Metaphysical Mimes

What the 21st century is, is a global healing time. A time to address the horrors and shortfalls of selfish and ignorant human ambition to label, of greed, to control, and to take. the easy way of dominance, of force, and selfishness does not work. The consequences of our reactionary based consciousness, is the fragmentation of self, the disintegration of oneness, the exploitation of forests, oceans, and our natural world, the greed of corporations, and the promotion of a self-obsessed material worshiping culture of war and bureaucracy. What is security, what is health, education, and wealth when it is manufactured in industries that send ripples of alienation and destruction across our planet? Guns, prison cells, sugar, corporate America, 2000 years of war, oil, domestic violence, slavery, genocide, ecocide, turning generations into mindless consumers, this legacy of hate, this is what we proudly promote as progress. Who are we really, is this what you support?

We are truly at a crossroads, where each one of us has the responsibility to radically declare and embody the change we want to see in the world. This is done by getting to know one's self, to make love with one's self, to be able to look in the mirror and see beauty staring back. To allow for inspiration to bubble up inside each of us, to step into courage, and to be open to love so we may actively choose creativity, honor, compassion, breath, forgiveness, dedication, and the stillness to reconnect fully with truth, spirit, and the greater forces at play. For war is all around us, paradox, confusion, scarcity, alienation, and subjugation. We passively accept the "us vs them", class warfare, war for profit, racism, sexism, corporatization, and environmental devastation. We fight a war within ourselves and with everyone we pass on the street, a war for the right to exist, to be in charge, to be special, revered, and accepted. Yet there is so much beauty, so much magic, and sanctuary to be had in letting go, in being vulnerable, in trust, in every moment, with our every breath, our every thought, and action, we must accept love and call forth the imagination to move past our self-centered wars. We do this to create community, to invite into existence a culture of peace, to accept love which is the real power: a force so much greater than war. Hope, hope that with each deep breath and creative loving thought, tomorrow is allowed to be a new beautiful day.
