The Time of Transition - A Poetic Formula to Awaken the Dreamer

“All the Sickness Starts in the Heart”

Arcade Fire sang that.
’I have greed and fear in me,’

Yuval Harari implied that.

I’ll wager you do too.

‘You’re afraid because you haven’t died yet’

Paul Winters said something like that, to his Band of Brothers,

after D-Day,

long before the end.

“We’re all the walking dead.”

Rick Graves said, to his fellow survivors,

after making it out of one frying pan,

and into another fire.

When will you wake and start dreaming?

A Heaven, where friendship and truth

guides every interaction

An earth where joy and abundance

Are just reward for all

Where good work and good play

Are done like we pray

Awake, Dreaming,

Making Heaven on Earth

———

I sit with Yogis

Holy Men too

Shamen and Love Withces

Carpenters too

What is your magic?

What is your art?

Let us all share it,

Let us all start!

It starts first inside us

gentle and still

It expands all around us

wisdom and grace,

Awaken the dreamer!

Sing the great song!

Love is within you.

Love is All One!
