Dismantling the systems that break us: A prayer towards transformation.

Dismantling the systems that break us. A prayer towards transformation.

Within us and all around us
liberation is not available without the embracing of transformation.

Without imagining a world that cultivates care, belonging, reciprocity, and humanity.

The end of systematized, structural, gendered, racialized violence.

A world where justice is about restoration rather than punishment.

Where solidarity is culture.

Mutual sharing and care for the environment is our common sense.

We know we cannot outperform the crisis of attempting to thrive in post-colonial capitalism,

which demands of us-
cognitive dissonance

isolation
repression
shame
blame.

As we pray each day towards Liberation-

May we find it’s quiet hints.
May we formulate paths where there seem to be none.
May we have courage and faith towards the possibility of a different way of being.

May we create community of care, remembering that we are stronger together.

May we come together to cry, to laugh, to sing, to imagine, to create.

May we give where we are able.
May we harness our gifts, privileges, and opportunities towards transformative action, Towards the world we wish to see.

May we find-
courage
strength

solidarity

belonging
integrity

In ways we may have yet to experience in our lifetimes. May it

echo
echo
echo


to every curvature of this earth. May we exist as love -

incarnation
bloom
germination
propagation

May we live to

sustain ourselves

our loved ones

our community

our siblings of all kinds

our home on earth
the universe
that surrounds us.

And so it is.
