I walked through the centuries

to be here right now

for this rising of humanity

I’ve been killed and slaughtered

I’ve been daughters and sons

Mothers and fathers

I’ve been rich and poor

Big and small

I’ve been all

and now I am here

I walked through the centuries to be here right now

for this rising

of consciousness

An awakening

that is shaking all old forms and patterns

A rising of consciousness that happens not only in humans

but in all living beings on this planet

in the plants and the trees

in the insects and the bees

in every dog and cat

all animals

in everything we see

wanting to be free

All will rise now

Even the potato will rise

Yes I know it sounds crazy but even the potato will rise!

Mama soil, before they boil me

I want to grow up and see the sun

It is fun the birds whisper!

Father , give me light so I can be bright!

Sky give me rain so I don’t live my life in vein!

Even the potato will rise

advicing itself from its core nature

For yes I see a new humanity rising now

advicing itself from the heart

the place where we truly are smart

and know the art of living

and the art of giving

A new humanity

not taking place

but making space

for new forms and heartful norms

where all humans move in their own pace

and so living life in grace

A transformation beyond all we have ever known
