Chelan Harkin: Now Is the Time To Rise

 Now Is the Time To Rise

Americans, now is the time to rise.

Those in our government are pretending to lord power over us. But what they have is not power. They are expressing an abominable display of emptiness. They do not have power. All they really have is the paper tower of money and our willingness to fear them.

We do not need to fear them. That is how we recover and root into our power. It is in the hearts who care more about the sacred than survival, more about dignity than the threat of death, more about humanity than hierarchy that are powerful.

When I say it is time to rise, I mean it is time to rise not in reaction but in resilience and responsiveness. We need to develop strength in our value of truth and in the indomitable expression of the soul at this time. We need to learn to depolarize ourselves so that we rise with the force of oneness.

It is time to rally and wield the forces of the universe within us. Separation is made of sand and truly stands no chance. Do not collapse. Grieve generatively. Our tears at this time need to fuel the torches waiting beneath them. This is the time for claiming those torches blazing with eternal truth and to raise them high.
