To heal humanity we need to focus on our one collective-soul
As the planet turns on its axis
And Mother Earth responds to our plight
The stars align to support our growth sprout
And to watch as we sleep at night
We’re one people brought down to our knees
To face challenges we’ve ignored for too long
If it weren’t for the love we all carry in our souls
We would have perished already, alone
But we’re not alone in our hour of need
To our brethren, we stretch out a hand
We resolve to be strong
For one another we wear masks
Borderless, marching to one heartbeat
With soul medicine, we heal our hurts.

Selma, beautiful sentiments. I find it hard to pick one Leonard Peltier quote. Still chewing on this. But bravo, for starters and delighted to be a pen pal.
Hey, Sarah. It’s a gloomy kind of Sunday— the nostalgic, romantic-esque kind that Mother Nature gives us for respite often. Love it. And your visit and comment just made it superb. Thanks, friend. I appreciate you.
See my dilemma with those quotes? I couldn’t pick just one. But I’m glad you looked …
Glad to have you as a pen pal. Let’s… I Wish You Miracles.
