Step Out of Slumber into Your Birthright

Glaciers heave,
  waters freeze,
  cities fall dark.

Cailleach will
  leave none untouched
  by her cold, hard fury.

Are you frightened?
  If you are, you have woken up!
  The veil has been lifted, and
  you have been gifted with sight.

Just in time
  to see the world fall
  into death's dark abyss.
  The 'pause' threatened by
 Cailleach is upon us, now.

Don't close your eyes!
  Don't run back to the fantasy
  of self imposed ignorance or denial!

You will not find safety there!
  It is just a delusion that allows
  murder, death, darkness to descend.

No!  Force your eyes open!
  Only with clear sight can you
  step into the sacred role reserved
  for humanity in this crisis of our creation.

Stay awake! Stay present!
  The shock, the dismay, the terror
  at seeing the consequence of our crimes
  is natural.  Its gift is to inspire urgency.

Staying awake will enable you to act!
  It will allow you to see others,
  equally awake and seeking.

It will break down boundaries
  and allow the vital gift of love
  to reinvigorate broken bonds.

It will create clarity of perception
  so that we can use our distinctive
  gifts of innovation and creation
  to find our way through the winter.

The winter calls forth warriors,
  not mindless soldiers, but deeply
  contemplative warriors, honor-bound
  by the simple and universal call to love.

Recall the great warriors from your lineage;
  clarity of vision, giant hearts, soulful eyes,
  called to a purpose greater than self interest,
  inclusive of all, great and small, life, love.

That is the warrior in you!
  All are called to awaken, now,
  to step into the armour of love.

That is your calling!

This is your birthright!

Warriors all.

We will be gifted
  courage, sight, capabilities
  as we call them forth for good.

There is no greater calling
  than to become what we
  were born to be...a gift to life,
  warriors of love, creators all.

The Great Slumber is over.
  We awaken.  We accept our birthright.
  We don our armour. We carry the mantle
  of love. We birth the answers. We gift ourselves

  to life.
