I am only one..

I saw our Mother toxic and unhealthy...
and it seems too big for one.

I saw women and children suffering and no one to teach them to rise..
and it seems too big for one

I saw lost souls consumed by the trials of life-
and it seems too big for one.

I saw people who had many freedoms but were slaves to their greed and hedonism
and it seemes too big for one

I prayed..I am only one..

and The Great Mystery replied-
Each rain drop is one...
they fall to Earth and join together to form the oceans...
and so it is with you...
The solution for the people is the same as the rain
join together...
and in that joining a new power is formed.

  Dont wanna wait til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way ,ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, dont dream about yesterday, hey
Cmon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon,its everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace, oh,
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, cmon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Its enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin for
Oh, yeah, right now
(solo)
Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
Cmon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, and do it right,
Right now
Right now, oh, right now
Its whats happening?
Right here and now
Right now
Its right now
Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around
Right now- Van Halen

Never...never...never...give up.....

Grandmother Moon

The Moon begins her cycle as an almost invisible orb-
and slowly- ever slowly-
she begins to reveal herself.

Night after night...
every evening...
and as she does- her energy builds-
making me more and more human
until i could scream-
emotions rise...
anger- disappointment-joy- sadness-excitement- fear-
the visions rolling on a  loop in my minds eye...
the Moon whispering to me 'hurry...'

How queer these human bodies are- bags of water-
and just like Mother Earth's -
the tides within me begin to rise
and the waves crash upon the shore of my soul..

There are times I forget to be grateful
easier to see things that are wrong
as I dishonor the the gifts I've been given
with worry, angst and woe.

There are times I need reminding
of the things I take for granted each day;
my children, my home or a stranger,
sent to brighten my way.

Take some time to say thank you
for the blessings that color your day;
Those colors will form a rainbow,
and chase the darkness away.

I found this video of a man named Dermot Butterly from Ireland, walking across the United States dressed as Gandhi to raise money for a village in India.
