As we follow our hearts and begin to live the new world into being
with every thought, word, and deed we choose,
we begin to feel support building.

All of life wants to heal.

We feel the power of the oceans, mountains, rivers, deserts, forests
and animals with us; all breathing life into a new world.

There can be no failing.

We begin to declare a new story about the world, one she is already aligned with.
It is a story of vibrancy, interconnectedness, freedom and respect.
Whales begin to frolic in oceans of truth. Birdsongs fill the mornings and evenings.

The buzz of 5G is replaced by bees.

A clarity spins in the fresh air of consciousness;
we are living the new world into being.
