We have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy. We have not come into this exquisite world to hold ourselves hostage from love. Run my dear, From anything That may not strengthen Your precious budding wings, Run like hell, my dear, From anyone likely to put a sharp knife Into the sacred, tender vision Of your beautiful heart. We have a duty to befriend Those aspects of obedience of our house And shout to our reason “Oh please, oh please come out and play.” For we have not come here to take prisoners, Or to confine our wondrous spirits But to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom, and Light! ~Hafiz

The World needs people… Who cannot be bought; Whose word is their bond; Who put character above wealth; Who possess opinions and a will; Who are larger than their vocations; Who do not hesitate to take chances; Who do not lose their individuality in a crowd; Who will be as honest in small things as in great things; Who will make no compromise with wrong; Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires; Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success; Who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular; Who can say “no” with emphasis, although the rest of the world says “yes”. ~Ted w. Engstrom, from Motivation to last a lifetime.

“Remember: Your focus determines your reality.” ~ Qui-Gon Jinn
“I would now rouse women’s essence, spirit, to rise as birds in flight over fields, leaving swiftly earths dust, that they may speedily cross the frontier into the great world of light and brilliance. I desire that they be leaders, awakened lions, advance messengers of learning and intelligence; that they may serve as rafts crossing cloudy ferries; as lamps in dark chambers.” ~Qiu Jin Poet, revolutionary, feminist and writer 1875-1907

“It’s no wonder we don’t defend the land where we live. We don’t live here. We live in television programs and movies and books and with celebrities and in heaven and by rules and laws and abstractions created by people far away and we live anywhere and everywhere except in our particular bodies on this particular land at this particular moment in these particular circumstances.” ~ Derrick Jensen
“So keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t forget to have fun doin’ it. Be outrageous… rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through celebrating the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was!” ― Molly Ivins
“So don’t be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don’t know what work they are accomplishing within you?” ~Rainer Maria Rilke

“The object of prayer is to evoke a feeling … that the miracle has already happened and our prayers have been answered … Our prayer becomes a prayer of thanks for the opportunity to choose which creation we experience. Through our thanks, we honor all possibilities and bring the ones we choose into this world.” ~ Gregg Braden
Anonymous, the Occupy Movement, and others are calling for a massive Worldwide Wave of Action beginning on April 4th, the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. It calls for sustained heart led, peaceful rebellion and creative action over a 3 month period, which will be very powerful and cause things to shift dramatically in the right direction. If you go to their website, https://waveofaction.org/ you will see lots of suggestions on how to get involved, including mass meditations, prayer groups and so much more. People from all over the globe are creating and posting up new events that will be happening that we can join in on. They have been posting up some amazing videos on their Facebook page (Worldwide Wave of Action) that have really inspired me and I plan on getting involved in some of the events as well as coming up with my own creative acts. There are so many ways to participate ~ so check them out and hopefully you will be inspired to get involved and spread this message to others. We are the tide that is going to turn this thing around and this wave cannot be stopped. It’s going to be epic. Power to the People!!!
Martin Luther King is a driving force behind the Worldwide Wave of Action. Check out this Anonymous video featuring Dr. King…
