we run
we hide
we ignore
there is another option
though it is hot, stay
what is old shall fall away
you are born from love

the leaves fall
the grass grows
and so it is
with each passing day
of this precious
fleeting
life
every breath
a season of
now
just breathe

Our power is love.
Inexhaustible.
Found in our open hearts.
Vulnerable, tender, brave,
and strong beyond measure.
No one can take this away.
It is the weapon of the oppressed,
that eventually defeats the oppressor,
who in ignorance
underestimates its power,
its reach.
It is the long arc.

their season has passed
fixed in time with eyes watching
fading, fading, gone.

be aware the brevity of life. live fully in love. cherish!
these heroes
these saints
broken and human
yet
beautiful and buoyant
in their love
worried and tired
stumbling
falling
yet
courageously
persistently
fiercely
open-hearted
shining bright
their light
they are you
they are me
they are we
we are
the Resistance

before the mind craves
the moment yet born
before the pain unravels
into rambling story
before a tempered heat
reaches a boil
before the tears dry
and the heart shifts to close
just sit.
