We the People are taking care of each other, our thoughts, our hearts, our present moment, and our future.
We the People believe We the People may finally mean what it’s supposed to mean.
We the People are writing it down and making things happen. Everything now begins anew.
We the People are thrilled to see the planetary changes that’ve happened from less driving, less flying, and so much less industrial pollution. Shall we continue on this path of the sustainable future, already underway?
We the People are journaling, meditating, stretching, and making ourselves whole again.
We the People are finding new ways to be more socially culturally universally aware every day.
We the People are at the beginning of an adventure, the start of a journey, and on the cusp of a new chapter of our human history.
We the People are makers, doers, creators, re-inventors, storytellers, collectors, cooks, engineers, sculptors, connectors, scientists, communicators, empaths, philosophers, world-makers, discoverers, lovers, future-builders, instigators, abstract painters, urban mystics, teachers, peaceful warriors, wilderness wanderers, songwriters, hand-holders, and big dreamers.
We the People are feeling so much at this time and want to hug so many people, but sometimes a tree will have to do. We’re all tree-huggers now.
We the People will be gentler with everyone on the planet, and treat them all with more loving care.
We the People are listening to the Earth, as it tells us it wants to be healed.
We the People understand how we must build a more peaceful and sustainable world. During this time doesn’t war seem horrific and insane, begun by insane people for insane false reasons?

We the People are undoing societal brainwashing, and installing updated mental software.

We the People know healing hearts and minds takes time.
We the People agree it’s become critical to better align with and respect nature.
We the People are telling our stories, beginning anew, embracing sunshine and storms, starting to laugh more, sitting in city parks and writing in notebooks, asking a lot of questions, and listening in a deeper way.
We the People are grateful for deep dark forests, shadow-filled mountain trails, and days just like today.
We the People are urban wanderers, mobile-texters, quantum mind achievers, wide-open space breathers, digital natives, futuristic pioneers, questioning wonderers, curious askers, right-brain creators, delirious dancers, and impactful transformers.
We the People know past civilizations have faced massive natural historical planet-transforming cultural shifts, and went through some of these same things we’re going through, and came out the other side.
We the People are turning the music up loud, and laughing and singing on the night the world decides it’s time to come back together, and we’ll help to throw the biggest celebration in the world once we’re over the shock of hearing the word “YES” said over and over, and reverberating throughout the land. But we know more than ever before, patience isn’t a virtue. It’s a skill.
We the People are elevating, questioning, expanding, and evolving.
We the People are listening to our hearts, in ways we never could before. Something’s shifted.

We the People are wondering why no one pressed the reset button on the whole world before now.
We the People are good with loving more and transforming the entire world’s culture. But wow, if we forget how to be caring and curious and silly, what was the point of all this?
