we rise again...

i just returned from the memorial gathering that has happened for the dying of jack layton... the most conscious-kind-human-loving politician of my lifetime.

and all i can say is...

we rise again.


we rise because it is just right...

we rise together, as we.

we rise for we, for each other, and we rise for the earth.

we rise for each other, for each others well being,and life and death.

we rise together, with each other... because we are all equal, and equally alive. and important.

we rise because we can... because we know it is right to stand up together, for what is right.

i will always rise, i will always stand tall, i will always rise again, and again, and again.

i know what is right. and i believe in it.

so did jack layton...

i pray that those who believe in him, in his doing what is right, for all and everyone...

will rise up.

more firmly, more clearly, and more together.

i hope we let his life and his death remind we, that we are we.

and we are one.

we are one people, we are one earth.

we are one love.

i pray, and i meditate on, and i dream, and i wish...

we rise again.
