becoming sovereign in a world built to erase us

let's start a softness revolution by cracking open and remembering who we are

write like your life depends on it. because it does.
not that you will die if you don’t write.
but something in you will.
a part of your soul will wither and dry up.

creative juices need to keep flowing so the pipes don’t get blocked.
creativity and sexuality go hand in hand.
or they should.
they come from the same place.

is that why they have been so distorted and controlled?
because if we were to wake up to our full human potential and realize that sex isn’t about procreation or porn—
it’s not about finding someone to fill the ache that you can’t fill because you don’t know how,
and society doesn’t want you learning how either.

imagine if we were all to become our own individual sovereign beings.
what would happen then?

well, for starters, we would wake up to our true divine power as creative beings,
and we would start to create alla grande changes that promote health and unity and clarity and empowerment and love and joy and creativity and healing
and craziness… in all the right ways, not all the wrong ones.

our world is sick.
and we are dying a hot collective death.
like the frog in the pot that doesn’t realize the pot is about to boil over.
that’s what’s happening in our world.

embrace duality, we must.
and our dual nature means that we each contain an entire universe within.

we have the ability to find love, sensuality, creativity all within our own beings.
and then, from this place, we can meet another.
from a full cup.

but is it really a cup?
maybe it’s a flame.
a freedom flame.

what if you carry a sacred flame inside you that is burning to be let out.
and in order for this to happen you must crack open like a seed husk
as the fresh green shoot emerges in the spring.

you must water it with your tears.
even with your own blood, if you must.
but water it you will.

and as you watch the shoot, that is your soul, take root
in the bedrock of your being,
to grow up towards the sun’s radiant light,
flickering with an inner fire all its own,
will you begin to rejoice.

for you will have broken free from the matrix of illusion and suffering
that would tell you that you aren’t enough.
that you need…
fill in the blank
to make you happy,
to make you whole.

but i’m here to tell you:
it’s already within.

so fuck the patriarchal culture that cut both men and women from their original form—
a form where men hold a divine feminine softness next to their strength,
and women hold a divine masculine strength next to their softness.

it’s a softness revolution, if we must give it a name.

and fuck all the systems that would erase us in the name of…
what exactly?

in the name of control, domination, fear, confusion, division, and hatred.

fuck all that.

we can do better.
but we can only do better by going within,
and by allowing ourselves to face the cracking open,
as individuals and as a world.

but i’m here for it.
and i know you are too.

let’s do this.

i know we have what it takes.
