You know that old saying - "life's an adventure, if you make it one", and right here, right now you and I have a grand, dangerous, incredible adventure demanding our attention and participation.
Our world is in a horrific mess. So many things are collapsing and self-destructing they create a kind of "doom overload", where one is overwhelmed with despair. For many of us, this awareness of the terrible toxic shitshow society has become can generate a "deer-in-the-headlights" paralysis; not knowing where, when or even how to react, much less what to do to make a difference.
But here is the key to the door to the future. You and I DO KNOW the answers ! We know the kind of surroundings we want around us. We KNOW what a kinder, more compassionate society looks like. We KNOW what we want the world to be.
You and i want the same things. A society based on tolerance, love and compassion. One where good labor is rewarded - where teachers, caregivers, nurses, and all those working hard to make things better for others, earn a living wage and the respect they deserve. An environment free of pollution, healthy ecosystems, filled with wild creatures, flora and fauna flourishing in harmony with humans. You and I want a return of the magic and mystery to our existence, where the sacred has a place (a prominent place !) in daily routine. We want a world filled with art, creative fire, and wild exuberant joy !
And we are not alone. There are tens of millions of others who want the same thing, who desire it with all their heart and aching spirits. Our challenge - and the adventure calling you and I, with ever-increasing desperation and intensity, is to join with our fellow nature lovers, and start creating this world NOW !!!
Your co-creators are all around you, but the time for procrastination is OVER. No more - "maybe someday"; no more "I'll do it tomorrow", or the day after, and on and on. NO MORE DELAY !
Your adventure begins TODAY !
Take the plunge. Meet the people who share your dreams, and start creating the thing (or things) you love most - whatever is burning you up inside, you want it so badly. Create it ! Make it real. ALL OF US who love the moon, who stare at mountains with love, who love the rain and the storm and revel in it, who see the wind in the trees and hear it as sacred language, who feel life is full of mysteries - our tribe ! Pagans, witches, lovers of the wild, romantics and mystics all.
DO IT NOW !
Our tribe is doing this everywhere. Join them - or start your own actions.
Like Four Quarters in Pennsylvania, a beautiful sanctuary for Pagan celebration and worship, based on sustainability, in a corner now rewilding. https://www.4qf.org/
Or Circle Sanctuary, building a wonderful nature preserve and place of worship for our tribe. https://www.circlesanctuary.org/
Here in Tucson, there are many groups - my own favorite being the folks in the Spark Collective and Four of Wands (https://www.fourofwandstucson.com/ ).
It doesn't need to be big, or involve many. Maybe it is just slowly making your backyard a nature sanctuary for the wild creatures who are your neighbors. Perhaps it is starting a place where friends share their art and whatever their spirits wish to make. Only YOU know what you need to create. It does NOT matter what it is. If you are building from what your spirit cries out for, the cosmos will answer, and aid you.
The world is out of time. PLEASE, for all our sakes, begin TODAY...
