It reminds me of Severn Suzuki's famous 1992 speech which I have often shared with students in my "Leadership, Writing & Public Speaking for Social & Environmental Justice" classes, along with Greta Thunberg's "How Dare You?" speech to the UN in 2019.
Maybe there's some progress in the fact that ADULTS are now speaking up and allowing their emotions to become visible in the public sphere? But still, who is listening???
whoever isn't hearing isn't meant to be part of the solution. or. perhaps imagine Mr petro planted seeds for a winter harvest. into the psyche of unlikely " listeners" unconsciously ..... love for life is heard resonates on SOME ethereal level.
A year ago I moved back to my (affluent) hometown. Since then I’ve been overwhelmed by the trauma I see - many classmates dead or dying of drug/alcohol/tobacco overdose, in prison for drug-induced murder, estranged from their families. One came to my door the other night and asked for $40 to reconnect his phone - I later learned it was to buy crack.
We live in a deeply traumatized society, and that manifests in destructive behaviors. I’ve had to confront my own part in this as I see my parents’ mistakes repeated on my own children; not just by me but by their purported professional carers as well.
So, how do we stop this madness? To my
mind, it is with love, compassion, and forgiveness. I love my children, and was an innocent child once - with what I’ve experienced, how could I not make these mistakes? And how could I possibly grow out of them without forgiveness?
For me a critically important experience was the deep, lasting sense of these truths that came under MDMA and the care of a loving guide. Such treatment is becoming much more common, much more available to those most in need. Of course this is only one way into love.
May ever more of us experience an opening of the heart.
within Daniel's shared writings threads... a few weeks back...some of us were " talking" ( it may have been on his fb page)....and I mentioned ...as do you ...LOVE as most righteously the only real solution to this brutal darkest before dawn place we are within .. a mindset movement of heart frequency leaps ...is being beckoned.
this speech yes...thank you for full text...appropriately shared in the midst of Equinox night....a veil lifts....shifting kisses of times great tricks ......
some of us aware of this speech he bravely delivered...straying so organically off script. ..he....like his rain forest rich in rarities....so...
"off topic" as it were...while the war mongers neck veins pop.... as they do a Cuban missile 1962 time warp reboot...as though we the " masses" are nothing more than part of a reality TV set....
indeed ....Mr. Petro...yes.... gave us the secret door the looking glass the leap those old Shoshone grammas used to Prophecize. I am not surprised, you too. were taken. by his star fleet painful pleas...for life.
....been feeling Hopi elder I knew...Thomas Banyaca (rip) ...first native to travel to the UN....circa 1949 was it? back then he spoke of white man 's ( he didn't know all colors would join) nuclear greed .." Gourd of ashes" in the Hopi way.... ... long ago.....his peoples own rainforest days so so far and away ....
so...as the Gourd of Ashes beckon ..happy Equinox to us ... autumn is our Jesus now.

the courage to speak, is the medicine.

yes, compassion.

the truest pathway home.
earlier comment, referenced properly:
"...There's only White Man's endless greed.
The mining companies want the coal,
and even more they want the uranium
to create nuclear weapons.
Our Prophecies speak of those weapons.
They're called the Gourd of Ashes
that the White Man will throw back and forth
and there will be a fire in the sky
that no one can put out.
If you don't stop what you are doing,
Nature will intervene."
~~Thomas Banyaca, Hopi (circa 1986)
Thank you for sharing. I am stunned by the power of these beautiful and terrifying words, and by their absolute truth...
Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Irrational power. Addiction to profit. A wonderfully direct confrontation of the shadow behind it all. Perhaps this can actually be heard.
An amazing speech. It is great to see that a new ally for a livable planet has become president of Colombia. Thank you!
