I invite you into your deepest soul

For this homecoming to happen....

I have come from far away to bring you close. You have been freezing all your life, running from the warming fire. Your yearning is nothing compared to the holiness that yearns for you. Others invite you into their home. I invite you into your deepest soul, the home without walls where you may find two treasures you have been seeking: the certainty that you are beautiful and that you belong. For this homecoming to happen, you must give up precious attachment to this way of life that says some groups are worthy of freedom and others deserve to suffer collectively. The peace to which I invite you is going to cost you your supremacies. Are you ready for human power arrangements to die? Are you capable of harmonious coexistence? Can you tolerate dehumanized people being truly free? If you want to ease your suffering, you are going to have to reckon with your soul. You can uphold the world you have known, or you can grant passage for what is coming. Behold the glory of soul water rising.

We Birth Freedom at Dawn

My new two-volume book We Birth Freedom at Dawn is now available worldwide and at my website. As this book moves out into the world, may we pray…. for the many souls suffering under the reign of oppressive horror, and that we as humanity find the will to confront the devastating aspects of our way of life that we have accepted and allowed. May the might of our Love impulse overcome all dehumanizing forces. May Beauty hear itself in the mourning song of our newborn revival. Oh, our dark night of the soul has been chilling and long. Let us meet Dawn’s light with our own astounding brilliance. You and I are ushers of a new season of remembering. Our drumbeat sounds forever.

Bless you for purchasing, gifting, posting, and reviewing online to help lift this newborn aloft in the sky of prayers.

BOOK SUMMARY

If you have read my prior work, you know that all of this is just a Love letter from the Great Mystery to our earthly yearning souls. As such, with these two new volumes of poems, stories, essays, prayers, and devotions, I desire that you feel the intimacy and urgency of where you and I now find ourselves. Since late 2023, as horrific massacre, new and old, slow and swift, in many forms and lands, has at last captured our collective human attention, our pain and grief and resurgent Love have gushed through my heart and being night and day. Like many of you, my every cell and molecule has been both decimated and revived. I have given myself to this, our profound upheaval. I have crumbled our heartbreak into the sea of this unbearable season, this ongoing sermon of sorrow and solace. In these soul waters, I have soaked up our manna and nectar to bring home to you.

These two volumes are the entire balm I have been able to gather for you. We Birth Freedom at Dawn is a book and birth water. The title came to me as I ran up a steep hill on a recent summer morning, sun blessing my skin, sweat baptizing my ascendant birthing time to push and deliver. Our ancestors have been with me in a hushed and cradling way during these months of mourning and morning. As this title came to me, Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman in particular settled in my bones and blood and breath. These two sturdy grandmothers have wet eyes as they hold us now. It is their insistence that we be free of our oppressive ways that has ushered forth these tribal words.

Sojourner and Harriet… Have you ever seen two monarch butterfly mates dancing in sunlight? They may to our eyes seem incredibly light of wing. Their flight, though, is a consequence of unimaginable struggle and endurance. And yet, here they are, still dancing, still joyful, filled with the orange of sun, bringing forth their generations.

This title, We Birth Freedom at Dawn, is what its offering is: A radical call. An invocation. A summons. To stir and galvanize and mobilize us. The word We is for our collective humanity. Birth speaks to our unconquerable Divine Feminine and its reclaimed role as we go forward, for the conception, gestation, and birth labor. For we already have this freedom. We do not have to chase it down. We have only to bring forth what is already in us and of us. The word Freedom: An acknowledgement of my life’s work and ministry, including my earlier and kindred book Freedom: Medicine Words for Your Brave Revolution. And Dawn, a hopeful word, for our freedom soon come. It is not long now, dear soul. Not long. Our dark night of the soul too has its end.

This title is a declaration and decree. A promise and prophecy. An awakening and activation. A chant, hum, ceremony, remembrance song. To speak and feel this title is to call forth this freedom alive within each of us. Our freedom is stirring, nascent, divine, and truth. Soon, the fawning sprout begets the forest, and the raindrop begets the river. I pray these words bring back from the brink the many who are on the edge of despair, fear, hopelessness, terror, and fatigue. To allow us to see and feel and be what is coming and indeed what has always been here in the fertile earth of our sacred architecture. My God, these words are prayer.
