In the midst of the post-rapture madness, my tribe and I had a pow-wow in Ladybug’s backyard - to fly with the grey geese and enjoy some green dirty dancers . We sat in the circle of love and unraveled around each other, sharing our personal experiences during the Dying Age . It was clear from the stories shared that we are all facing our own tragedies in our own way . We are all coming face to face with the reality that the world of our parents is a lie, that the structures that we relinquish our freedom to cannot protect us, and that life is a vulnerable thing .
Lately, I’ve been more tapped in than ever . I’ve planted a web around my tribe that is gaining more and more strength as every day passes . We are more connected than ever, and there are some days where I wake up and I just feel a sadness that I can’t understand . It is an experience I can’t put into words, because in my own mysterious and transcendental way, I am going through my tragedy . I am becoming self-aware of the fragility of human existence, just as my entire tribe has in their own way, and as you are in yer own unique way .
We are conditioned with so much shame linked to our parents and the needless suffering of the Pisces Age . We carry our cross and stay lip-locked, but by “telling our story with our whole hearts” (which is the true definition of courage), we were able to fill that void with joy and gratitude . The vibrations of our voices when we expressed the hurt in our hearts echoed to the cosmos and healing came down . It was certainly a night of tears and celebration . I became aware, sitting in this circle with my fellow outlaws, that this was our government . This was our hospital . This was our church . And in the upcoming years, when the ivory towers of our fathers crumble, this is all we will have .
The town that I live in is bankrupt . Vallejo has become the Wild Wild West, a game of cowboys and indians warring with each other over what it means to be alive . The land has become virtually lawless, dead shopping malls are reaching the sky, and more and more people are being evicted from their homes . In these trying emotional times, we are going to need each other . We are going to need a garden of love to survive . To survive the movements of the planets, the echos of the cosmos, and the struggle of day to day life .
There will come a time when language will be meaningless, and the old language will be replaced with empathy and healing . When we will stop worshiping the decisions of our predecessors, and we will remember that we are prehistoric pioneers: creating history everyday and discovering the impossible every moment that we are courageous .
During the silent panic of the psuedo-rapture, I came to realize that human life comes down to connection .
