Elder & Ancestor Wisdom

We have to live
differently

or we
will die
in the same

old ways.

Therefore
I call on all Grand Mothers
everywhere
on the planet
to rise
and take your place
in the leadership
of the world

Come out
of the kitchen
out of the
fields
out of the
beauty parlors
out of the
television

Step forward
& assume
the role
for which
you were
created:
To lead humanity
to health, happiness
& sanity.

I call on
all the
Grand Mothers
of Earth
& every person
who possesses
the Grand Mother
spirit
of respect for
life
&
protection of
the young
to rise
& lead.

The life of
our species
depends
on it.

& I call on all men
of Earth
to gracefully
and
gratefully

stand aside
& let them
(let us)
do so.

Summit of the Rose. A four day gathering with grandmothers from the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. Powerful, inspiring messages for this time and all time. This poem was included in the opening of the second day. And yes. It’s time for the sisters, especially the elders, to stand in our power and lead. 

It is indeed time for furious dancing.
