Hold Each Other
Balm and salve for your heart and soul
Sunday Serenity, Cherished Souls. Today I would like to share with you a compilation of recent unpublished pieces. May they be balm and salve and help you breathe in these times.

Stay in your ceremonies. We need you in your power. Drink your potions. Chant and hum and sing and pray. Fall on your knees in praise and worship. Gather your dreams and rouse your ancestors. We need you supple, soft, and mighty, a river of holy tears. Wash through us. Don't hold back. You are the Mercy we are wailing for.

All empires fall. They fall because they are unsustainable and because they eat their own children. Eventually their children rise up and take a new way of being for themselves. Oh, the children burn down the rotten castle. The last thing empires do before they fall is they attempt to wipe out anything and anyone that could start the fire.

With their violence, they will seek to erase your people and the history of their monstrosity against your people. But your people are a permanent calligraphy in the glorious poetry of life and humanity. You un-erasable, irresistible, irrepressible garden of beauty.

Hold each other. Not like prisons hold
inmates. Like sunlight holds flowers.

Be very careful right now. When a caste system dies, it sacrifices every soul. This is because a caste system has no soul. It is a sick organism composed of fear and spiritual emptiness. You are its greatest threat because you are proof of its lie. Your divine essence is evidence of supremacy's unnatural order. Your existence is your resistance. Now is the time for you to be more deeply you. For us to be more passionately us. We cannot be erased, for the effort itself only activates our presence. We are an alchemy that blooms when bullied, that births brilliance when bulldozed. We harvest crisis and create culture. We are life's great tide. When pushed, we do not recede. We gather up. We feast.

Your body is holding all of this. Give it
to a bigger body. Give it to the sky.
