Make no mistake about it—
We are, collectively, at a crossroads,
one which clearly, sharply,
and without suffering lightly
any more of the same ol same ol bullshit
is asking us as individuals—
Are you going to remain
in blame, shame and victim mode,
or move into the new next phase
of self-discovery and empowerment?
This is old school and old soul education
with each and every one of us, none excluded,
enrolled as students,
and no doubt
paradigm shifting
can kick your ass swift and hard,
but at the molten core it all,
Love, as a force and not a shove,
is compelling us to shed
and become who we now choose
to become.
