We bring the light, 2023

We live in a world

that can seem so damn terrifying - 

doors opening and closing.

It's all quite alarming.

How do we open to the right ones that bring us salvation and not merely gratification?

How can we find beautification in each other, ourselves, and our collective soul?

New opportunities to make connections, synapses, choices - 

Connecting the dots and recognise that there is 

perfection in where we are at this very moment. 

Striving to change the past dishonours 

this very moment that we can choose to unshackle ourselves -

From the stories we tell children to keep them docile and numb to the realities of pain in our world. 

See the digressions, diversions, pain, painstaking sacrifices of fellow souls - 

Dying so that we might see the inconvenient truths that must be spoken 

Must be screamed from the rooftop of our collective beings. 

May one day we be free.

Free to create and share the medicine of our souls. 

Poetry.

Music.

Art.

Food.

Laughter.

Dance.

Ecstatic creation unfurling.

Create to resist. 

Create purpose in existence.

Create love in resistance. 

Create because in the face of darkness

all we can do is -

Bring our light.
