Being the Change We've Been Waiting For
The World Has Changed
A poem written for these times by Alice Walker
The World Has Changed:
Wake up & smell
The possibility.
The world
Has changed:
It did not
Change
Without
Your prayers
Without
Your faith
Without
Your determination
To
Believe
In liberation
&
Kindness;
Without
Your
Dancing
Through the years
That
Had
No
Beat.
The world has changed:
It did not
Change
Without
Your
Numbers
Your
Fierce
Love
Of self
&
Cosmos
It did not
Change
Without
Your
Strength.
The world has
Changed:
Wake up!
Give yourself
The gift
Of a new
Day.
The world has changed:
This does not mean
You were never
Hurt.
The world
Has changed:
Rise!
Yes
&
Shine!
Resist the siren
Call
Of
Disbelief.
The world has changed:
Don't let
Yourself
Remain
Asleep
To
It.

Some folks might think it's time to relax...but really it's the opposite we need now.
Keep him honest!!!!! *Its OUR job. ;)

We also need to get honest with ourselves. Each of us has something to give to this revolution, and it all can't come from the top.
I'm thinking about what I can do locally... a kids' veggie gardening project this summer, for sure.
But in the meantime? Maybe homework help at the local shelter.

I heart Alice Walker~ thanks for sharing.
I like your idea to find ways to make things better ~ be a part of the solution.

THanks for visiting my blog and for commenting. It's always nice to see new faces. I hope you'll come back soon. :)
Alice Walker has the sweetest face ever. I wonder if she's still involved with Tracy Chapman? Two sweet faces.
