Engage

Barely aware of our true beauty
Our passion muzzled
Sensitivity protected
Creativity denied
Knowing unacknowledged

Casualties of buried trauma 
And bottled up grief
Frozen, disconnected, safe, memories locked away
Stifled by our toxic culture
Barely nibbling at life

But not realizing it
Not recognizing or embracing our inherent gifts 
Aliveness, joy, courage, radical self-acceptance
And so much more
True life

However, the waters of Pachamama are on the move
Hurricanes, floods, chaos – whirling and splashing
The sun contributing energy and magnetics
Shattering old structures and rhythms

Mirroring our inner worlds
What has been long and deeply hidden bubbling up
Compressed emotions seeping, ready to burst
From the shadows and unconscious

Embrace the opportunity
Do the hard, difficult work
Freedom awaits
