These Are The Days...


These are the days when we know it’s true that we are blessed.

These are the days when people become surprised, over and over, at their psychic communications with each other and just plain love for each other.
These are the days when people everywhere, one by one, shed their corporate-pleasing exteriors and start calling things as they see them.

These are the days when people start looking to leave a legacy, some great thing they can do that leaves the world with a powerful example of how much a little charity and justice can accomplish.

These are the days when people begin to know in their guts and hearts, that it’s time to pull off the freeway of the rat race and do something for the other humans on this planet.

These are the days when people all over the world have had enough of rule by “strong men” who in the end are as vulnerable as the rest of us.
These are the days when once and for all, we see the pathetic and cruel things that our nations are doing to others in our names, and we can’t hide from it any more.

These are the days when we poke our heads up out of our self-created gopher holes and notice that something big is coming our way. Something really big.
These are the days when people are learning the skill of talking with plants and listening to animals.


These are the days when the highest and greatest aspirations of us humans can be realized under our feet - maintaining healthy, living soil that grows clean, nourishing vegetables and fruit.

These are the days when people of pure intention experience how powerfully they are able to manifest their dreams, even on a grand scale.
These are the days when even the privileged lift the veils off self-serving visions and start wanting justice for all people.

These are the days when the white middle class gets a taste of what the working classes have been going through for centuries. And like our brown brothers, are told to go away and eat promises – this is a jobless recovery, so move on.


These are the days when we start paying attention to the flurry of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and other disasters that occur by coincidence around eclipses and other planetary alignments.

These are the days when we wake up and realize that our habits, desires and ambitions are being orchestrated by a few tiny dictators running our media.
These are the days when we wake up and see that entire seasons of storms, floods and wildfires are being orchestrated by a planet ready to show us who’s really the boss.

These are also the days when we wake up and see that it isn’t just this planet taking back the show -- the earth has a celestial posse: the sun (due to send out a storm of flares next summer), the moon, and the very center of the galaxy, all moving steadily into alignment.


These are the days when we realize that we are in charge of far more than we think we are, we don’t have much time left and must be bold in our demands – or die with a pathetic whimper.

These are the days when we realize it is within our power to demand poison-free food and energy, that every chemical/GMO  food and fossil energy source is causing our death as a species, and that nothing short of this will be allowed by law. Any lobbyist or politician who obstructs or violates it will be led away in handcuffs.

Speaking of handcuffs, these are the days when we can’t face, but must face, that our culture puts kids and entire families into prison and detention centers, for money and profit.

These are the days when we realize that unpopular things (such as the statement above) have to be said.

These are the days when we can have it all, or lose it all, depending on where we stand spiritually, and where we stand with our neighbors and our communities.


These are the days when every day is this day, every moment is this moment, and we savor that we have so few of them left.
