Where We Come From: A Journey Through Our Roots
Written on
Chapter 1: The Essence of Our Being
From the very beginning, we arise,
shaped from the earth's primal essence,
composed of the remnants of those who preceded us.
Their lifeblood, the vital liquid,
merging the clay of new lives into
gentle echoes of the mountains, hills,
vast plains, and dense forests
where fresh streams of vitality flow.
When this vital essence ceases,
our forms return to their elemental origins.
This origin is beyond ownership;
no contract, deed, or royal edict holds power
other than that of the oppressor
who seeks to consume her,
attempting to fill a void of spirit.
She existed long before our time,
and she will remain long after our departure,
cradling us in her nurturing embrace.
Love is birthed and concluded in her living form,
known by countless names that all signify the same truth.
Her Spirit resides within us.
When we show her reverence,
she reveals our sanctuary upon her being.
In that part of her, we find our home.
Only then does she unveil the constellations,
shaping the figure of our Creator,
the origin of the cosmic seed
bestowed upon her at our inception,
the energy of a stellar explosion
igniting the seeds and eggs
hidden within her flesh,
illuminating them with awareness.
In moments of safety,
we recognize our kin,
crafted from the same celestial rain,
forged from the same clay.
Only then do we comprehend
that we and they are intertwined and sacred.
This understanding allows us to perceive everything as divine,
recognizing all originates from stardust,
the cosmic fire of love cascading upon her.
Born from love,
we are destined to embrace love,
experiencing its joy
beyond the affection of one person,
to love all beings, siblings of every tribe,
formed from the same earth.
We learn that love embodies holiness; holiness is love.
We are sacred.
We are meant to be sacred.
The elemental source
from which we emerge
is alive and sacred,
yearning only to love and be loved,
just as she cherishes her offspring.
