Sunday Scribblings #29 - Competition

Engaging in an "I'm better than you" society,
we define ourselves in relation to masculinity.
Instead, why not get down and relate to the earth?
Then get up and flow with the rhythm of the cosmos.

SHE begs us.
Stop.
SHE knows it's not working.
Simultaneously, She pleads and shows us better ways.
Wait.

Dividing and conquering.
Plummeting self-esteem.
Not measuring up.
Worse, growing conceited.

SHE works with Her to model something more gentle,
more sensible.
Try again.
Inventing an artifical way, from above SHE sees what we can't.
"Look up" SHE says.
"Down here" She echoes.

THEY know.
That we can be whole within ourselves.
That we don't need to walk around incomplete.
Waiting, hoping, yearning for the opportunity to prove and complete ourselves
through competition.

"WE can ground and lift you.
You will be whole.
Listen."

The lunar and solar eyes of the cosmos.
The earthy ears of the land and sea.
At the moment, they are perplexed.
Why, when our toes massage Her,
and our fingers tickle HER,
and we are suspended between THEM
do we fight
THEIR ways?

We are THEY, THEY are we.

THEY coexist in ethereal consciousness.

Waning,
sprouting,
disseminating,
seeding,
flowering
and
growing.


Supple, muted phases.
SHE offers and She receives,
living in a symbiotic rhythm.

THEY remind us to weave into networks.
"You are global citizens", SHE says.
"Step curiously, not offensively", She advises.
"Dynamic cooperation is the challenge for the compassionate acceleration of evolution", SHE states.
"Emergence of gifts comes from sharing of souls", She promises.

"A cooperative intention is the universal desire", THEY tell us.
"Only by sharing your strengths will you lift your common purpose", THEY advise.

MOTHER MOON
and
Mother Earth
speak the truth.

Cooperation
not
competition.
