We have fallen behind for some time now in so many areas...so much ignored and neglected...Now, we are hit up the side of the head on it all at once and yes, it feels overwhelming, numbing, sad and frightening ... Great effort in awareness, cooperation and compassion is needed...Will we find the resilience, courage, togetherness and commitment to solutions to do the clean-up and sustain a better way...????

The Light Held Under

by Carol Ann Provence (12/18/2008)

Are you a light in the world, set on a hill high, or valley low?

How do you measure your gifts and fruit?

Perhaps you’ve been hiding your unique light under the proverbial bushel!

Well,

come out, come out wherever you are!

This house of scars and woe, has need of you now

Time has passed for staying mute

it’s time for voices joined to swell!

Plainly spoken do tell,

come out, come out wherever you are!

Whether a blazing star or mere candle in darkness low

Yes, you should give a hoot

that we, once and for “all”, mend that crack in our Liberty bell!

Just declare,

come out, come out wherever you are!

No longer locked toe to toe, blow for blow, but divinely metered we must grow

Timely suited saying No to the looting and shameful polluting,

repute the selling of timeless values

Shouting out a powerful nay at seeing the tower of hope that fell!

Only compelling,

come out, come out wherever you are!

Not only one; not even minute, striving higher stay in the now and in the know

Adjusting influence near or far, arise from fearful under hiding,

with a clap of thunder or musical mode of guitars or fluting,

such noise with purpose sounds tales worth telling!

Joyously,

come out, come out wherever you are!

Exquisitely emerge with grace and tender heart

Come out, come out wherever you are!

Anything lesser; concealing disguises and masks, simply will not do

Come out, come out wherever you are!

Authentic being merged with radiance compelling
