A gentle reminder that within these bodies, these sacred vessels we are safe
We are held in a blanket of gorgeous star light
And have been since before we came into form
We will be long after
Life is a dream that we create
What do we want to breathe our mana into
This will be what grows
Together we can and will dream up a new earth
A new way of being
May the pain that we feel today become the fuel for our sovereign evolution.
—Sierra Marin
All passing before us seen
Sign and symbol is alone.
—Wolfgang von Goethe
