star wars: a new hope

“Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood – was created inside a star before Earth was born.” – ANHM

what do we do with the stars

in our bodies?

we walk around waging war

instead of making magic

 

but there’s a few of us,

in the undertones

and the back channels

whispering:

there’s a new hope

and it’s us

the empire strikes back

we’re in the midst

of an undoing

status quo quaking,

the power praying 

to old gods 

of conquest

control

and greed

 

time tested tactics

tried and true

grounded in fear

intended to ruin

all that we hold dear

 

let them strike back,

we’re unending –

a rebellion

an alliance

for the ages

“But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.” – Yoda

 

remembering

that all my feelings have a place

and a purpose

even rage

 

but once it has moved

through my body

in waves

crashing through

stuck thoughts,

limited beliefs,

and pain –

i come out the other side

 

as a 

J-oyful

E-xpression of
