Witness

I wrote the following poem a few weeks ago. It just came through me without being conjured or called. I felt the urge to grab a pen, and this is what came through. I hope it helps, especially in these times of turmoil when we may not feel heard, respected, appreciated for the journeys we have taken, when no one wants to listen to our story, when we feel alone in the world and our heart is heavy. Perhaps this offering that I received will offer you something. Here is the poem:

Witness

Let the sun be your witness, for it has warmed you.

Let the wind be your witness, for it has heard you.

Let the darkness be your witness, for it carries your story.

Let the earth be your witness, for it bears your pain.

Let the dawn be your witness, for it knows your dreams.

Let the birds be your witness, for they sing your song.

Let the water be your witness, for it washes your tears.

Let the whole Universe be your witness, for it knows you better than you do.

Let your Soul be your witness, for it has already gone where you have gone.

Be your own witness, for you know who you truly are.

Sending you love and support,

Jan

To pontificate is all well and good, but far better to activate, to actually take action that is positive, progressive, practical, doable, and right for all. First do for the self what you wish for others. If you begin with you there is a far better chance that the change you so wish to see outside of you, in the world, will actually happen. Don’t be part of the problem any longer. Be part of the solution. Change the self and, yes, you CAN change the world. There is no better moment than now.

Find your way to calmness within, to that place of inner self, a place of trust, security, and knowing. From that place of inner self decide how to proceed, what decisions to make, and what words to speak to enact the change you so desire. When the universe pushes for change nothing can stop it. Prepare the inner self first so that every action you take comes from a place of love and kindness. Begin there and everything else will flow smoothly. Love is where it’s at.

Collective energy is powerful. It can make happen what needs doing. And yet, do not forget the power of the individual to enact change, one person at a time. With heart centered goodness become a beacon of change in your own life. Shine your light within the self and make change there so that when you shine your light outside of yourself it is a clear and uncompromised light, full of love without restraint, full of hope without blockage, full of kindness without withholding. Shine your light within and make change there too.

Remain heart centered in your intent, with compassion for yourself too, for though you may not be perfect you can still strive for perfection, and though you may not be fully in the place you want to be you can continue your quest for the self you know you are. All that is happening outside of you is reflected inside of you; the discontent, the inequality, the anger, the fear, the greed, the bigotry, the great need for change. The entire world is in an uproar. Do not let this uproar go to waste. Within and without, dare to change so that equanimity may be achieved, so that all may flourish, so that peace may come. A warrior knows that an opportunity like this may not come again for a long time. With loving kindness and compassion for all beings, a warrior does not let this time of great opportunity slip by. Begin by changing the self.
