Each day, you proclaim your sovereignty over the Earth, our Mother. You take and take from her, and destroy in the name of progress, money, power and to numb yourself. You kill our fellow creatures.
You are surrounded by Grace, Truth, and lessons to help you, every day, yet you see and you hear nothing.
You harden your heart, and ignore the stirrings of Spirit within you. You twist yourself with every heinous, inhuman act and pretend they are holy. You try in vain to defile that which is beautiful, good, and natural. You believe the convenient lies.
You see people, and you say they are less than. You ignore their plight. You say they are not human.
And we stand. Watching you. Working to heal our Mother. Working in our communities. Teaching our youth, because your ways WILL end with these young ones, make no mistake. Teaching them is our most holy, sacred task.
And every day as you commit every crime imaginable against the Earth, her creatures, and your fellow human beings......
We will stand, together. We will endure the unimaginable pain of continuing to hold space for YOU, to continue to see your soul, and not your actions. To keep seeing YOU as a human being, even though every instinct says to turn from you and the horror that you have become.
We will do this. Every day. And the tide will turn.
