Silence & Sovereignty
The world is so LOUD right now!
Injustice is screaming like a motorcycle with throaty pipes and the radio cranked ripping down the quiet side streets.
Loud
Obnoxious
Unnerving
If you are the one on the bike it's exhilarating. Wind in your face, blue skies, and the smell of the earth waking your senses. For a time an iron horse was all I rode and for a time it was enjoyable but that is what they are, iron.
They do not compare to the softness of real flesh and bones.
They are not sentient beings.
Our farm is on a fairly busy road. We regularly hear motorcycles, jake brakes, and flapping plastic on oversized loads.
It is an impossible task to quiet the streets. I could use all my energy to hold signs and yell back but I would burn out quickly. There is another way to quiet the noise.
It reminds me of all the powerful people in the news playing verbal ping pong with lies, threats, and power grabs.
Big fish in a big pond! They have the power and platform to drown out the little fish.
This system shuts down the quieter voices. The steady thinkers. Deeply rooted in the heart, speakers.
Is the solution to get louder? Raise our voices to the top volume.
In a world that is really loud right now, my solution is to seek the silence between my heart and the noisy streets. Building capacity to remain committed to being part of the collective change.
This silence is not avoidance!
This silence is restorative.
This silence is charging life force energy.
This silence is a deep renewal in faith.
When we come from this space our words, actions, and presence need no ROAR.
They are anchored in the earth, truth, and come from the heart. 🤎🤍🖤
