True
power, our power, is in our
diversity and difference.
It is not in the illusive
power we chase in the money
and things. It is not
in what we call unity.
We are already unified
through breath. We
want to deny our unity
because we look different,
act different and we believe
and we want different
things. The elk, oak
and pine live together to
create the mighty forest.
The shark, dolphin and
whales live together to
create the wealth of the
oceans. The blue jay,
hawk and robin sing together
to create the melody of the
sky. The lion,
elephant and jaguar live
together in a wonderment of
the wild. They all
want the same things: food,
protection for their young
and the opportunity to move
freely. The animals do
not blame or judge.
They live without anger or
fear. Are the animals
just stupid? Or have
we become too smart?
