Joined once again brother Gibran Rivera and beloved community to collectively hold one another
as we commit to daily practices of meditation, conscious eating, creative focus, exercise and early morning wakings
all while waxing and waning with the January moon.
I commit to a daily piece of writing (one hour minimum).
I commit to
gentleness
realness
aliveness
fuckedupness and boredom
conquering distraction.
I commit to sharing publicly each day,
practicing non attachment;
practicing showing up
showing up
showing up
showing up
showing real
each day!
I commit to
not getting it right,
to writing shitty first drafts,
to being free
and vulnerable
and awkward
and brave
and small
and big
and big
and small
May it be so. May it be so. May it be so.
I re commit over and over
writing as
my bang, my song, my weapon, my passion, my gift
in, with, and for this world
I commit to seeing and being seen
free from attachment
with love, warmth and tenderness.
I commit to NOT letting this violent, dominant, deadening system
seep into my body, bones and heart
I commit to
strengthening habits of
healing, loving, rolling fingers across keyboard
finding stories, poems, memories,
critical and creative reflections calling, calling, calling ….
Today is a good day to fight the system
through words,
community,
saying no to distraction
and yes to stillness,
focus,
convergence,
freedom,
attention and intention.
May it be so. May it be so. May it be so.
