A Declaration of Interdependence #4

We the People have traveled far—from the dawn of history to the star-filled skies of the Space Age—now we’ve reached this point in time, and we’re ready to do what comes next.

We the People eat resilience for breakfast, courage for lunch, and kindness for dinner.

We the People are rearranging history daily. With new breaths, new ideas, new places we’ll keep creating for ourselves and the future.

We the People are walking along the seashore, through open fields, on city sidewalks, on rooftops, in the woodlands and beside the highways, on ferryboats and escalators, and anywhere and everywhere we can breathe freely.

We the People are beings made of light, human beings bursting with our humanity, humanly altering the world in meaningful ways, day by day.

We the people see a clearer vision of reality with our fully awakened senses.

We the People are undoing our brainwashed thought patterns that were installed at birth, and upgrading to new thought patterns we are consciously agreeing to.

We the People are keeping journals, making lists, writing down plans, documenting dreamscapes.

We the People have witnessed the ongoing historical coming together and breaking apart during these turmoiled times.

We the People have explored the woods beyond the garden gate, and we’re venturing deeper into those woods.

We the People can see as far as the farthest star, can feel what’s happening on the other side of the world, and we know what’s worth keeping close to our hearts.

We the People are readers, knowers, curious transformers, long-distance wanderers.

We the People see the clouds lifting, and feel the global knowingness deepening and shifting as it transforms us.

We the People love how one day it all transformed, and we moved out of imbalance and into a centered part of ourselves we never knew was available.

We the People love breathing in the cool clear ocean air, the soft and pungent scents in mossy woods, and the mountain air just above the snow line.

We the People refuse to be stuck in the past with backwards-thinking people pretending to be leaders of some sort.

We the People love being more of who we were meant to be. Expanded vision fits well with our new minds.

We the People can feel the Climate Changing. We know it by all of our senses. A global shift is occurring. If we’re on this planet, we’re here for it. Naming it Global Warming decades ago was a misnomer. No one asks a torrential superstorm washing them away whether it came from hot or cool air. There’s no time to care.

We the People carry determination and destiny in our pockets (Oh, and often some Mission Figs.)

We the People are carving time out of each day to fully experience our lives—creatively, sensually, seasonally, curiously, knowingly, energetically, meaningfully, and humanly.

We the People possess open eyes to see, ears longing to hear, shoulders ready to carry the weight. Everything is shifting.

We the People are open-minded visionaries living in creative flow.

We the People are choosing our choices wisely, and speaking with new voices.

We the People aren’t staying in a dumbed-down town full of ghosts spouting meaningless words on the road to Nowheresville.

We the People have one foot in the New Now, and the other foot tingling and fearlessly alive in the already being created future world.

We the People are thinking quantumly and acting decisively.

We the People are healing what’s needed healing for decades, centuries, thousands of years.

We the People are making our way through the darkness and the light.

We the People are receiving transmissions from global sources, from seers, and from the stars above.

We the People have regained a clear connection to our truest selves.

We the People eventually realized our young impressionable minds had been molded with countless layers of wrongheaded information, and an excavation would yield long-buried glowing truths.

We the People are becoming who we must become to navigate the stormy seas ahead.

We the People take heart in the choice of our companions for this stage of the journey.

We the People are imagining the miraculous, making the wondrous, delighting in a life where being generous is built into daily interactions.

We the People are embracing each day, and not repeating the programs we were programmed with.

We the People are walking through abandoned shopping malls, hand in hand, laughing at how our voices bounce off the walls and echo around us.

We the People rise with the birds as they sing upwards at the bright blue sky.

We the People are continually renewing ourselves—with each breath, with each reinvention, with each social, cultural, and spiritual beginning.

We the People are on our path, and we’ll recognize you if you’re meant to walk beside us.

We the People are exceeding expectations as we remember those who came before. We’re paving the way for the future ones who’ll tell tales of us, as being those who stood up for life, humanity, and the freedom to be wholly loving creative and expansive beings during these times.

We the People have become newer versions of who we were, and it’s astounding, the differences subtle variations melded with timeless truths can make.

We the People are the people we’ve been expecting. Greetings to us, one and all.

Thanks for reading and supporting The New Now.

I feel like this book belongs alongside Timothy Snyder's "20 Lessons On Tyranny" as required reading for the 21st Century.
