“We call upon the spirit of evolution, the miraculous force that inspires rocks and dust to weave themselves into biology. You have stood by us for millions and billions of years — do not forsake us now. Empower us and awaken in us pure and dazzling creativity.
“You that can turn scales into feathers, seawater to blood, caterpillars to butterflies — metamorphose our species, awaken in us the powers that we need to survive the present crisis and evolve into more eons of our solar journey.
“Awaken in us a sense of who we truly are: tiny ephemeral blossoms on the Tree of Life. Make the purpose and destiny of that tree our own purpose and destiny.
“Fill each of us with love for our true Self, which includes all of the creatures and plants and landscapes of the world. Fill us with a powerful urge for the well-being and continual unfolding of this Self.
“May we speak in all human councils on behalf of the animals and plants and landscapes of the Earth.
“May we shine with a pure inner passion that will spread rapidly through these leaden times…”
“We call upon the power that sustains the planets in their orbits, that wheels our Milky Way in its 200-million-year spiral, to imbue our personalities and our relationships with harmony, endurance, and joy.
“Fill us with a sense of immense time so that our brief, flickering lives may truly reflect the work of vast ages past and also the million of years of evolution whose potential lies in our trembling hands.
“O stars, lend us your burning passion.
“O silence, give weight to our voice.”
~John Seed from Joanna Macy’s book Pass it On: Five Stories That Can Change the World

AMEN, livet er smukt, life is beautifull, in and out, same same, everywhere I dance in light. And let tears come out to water my skin, like the rain early in the summer morning. I wellcome the water in my body, I wellcome the evergoing unfolding process of in and out, the doors that opens and the things that has to go out so the other can come in. Miose, osmose. I love the connectedness, let me flow into it and BE IT, BE ME, BE FREE. Forever on, let love spread its big wings and make us all fly. AMEN<3

This was just sent to me by a beautiful woman I recently met at an art show we were both participating in.
These are powerful, beautiful and incredible words that created a feeling of transparency and lightness in my body as I read them aloud. I fully intend to participate in this site, as the Universe has just presented another path for me to walk!!

I love and bow to these words. They are prayer. I am brought to my knees at the benevolent feet of the universe. And I can be utterly open, completely malleable and trustingly devoted to her ways. I am your beloved servant. Thank you.
