UP TO US TO MIDWIFE AT OUR OWN REBIRTH – THE BEGINNING
by Marilyn
The Discovery for me begins!
Today I have had a religious experience that about brought me to my knees with excitement and gratitude.
Yesterday a friend confided in me that she was not as inspired by her work as she thought I was with mine. This got me thinking because I knew that I also felt that I needed a jolt of something for my work to stay inspiring. It was time. So maybe I was not as into it as I once was. This got me thinking more.
Today I awoke with a head ache which I don’t usually have happen. There was probably something going on in the universe and the atmosphere I told my self since I am susceptible to feeling shifts like that. I passed it off and continued my morning, 3 Advil’s later, another thing I don’t really like to take, and I felt better.
Here is what happened next. I began talking with my husband Mark, on the screened in porch and as I am doing that, I begin having an amazing experience. To me anyway. I began connecting with the trees and the sounds of the birds in a way that I had not done before. It was so perfect and clear to me now. Beautiful sunny spring day. The wind blowing a perfect example of the vision. There it was the connection, what I have been waiting for. Praying for. The jolt I acknowledged the day before.
You see, I have had this knowing about ReEnchant Planet Earth for a long time. Throughout my bones and cells I knew what it meant, how it worked, and how simple the idea but what I did not have was the thread for explaining it. In my heart, ReEnchant Planet Earth, began as a community, turned into a movement (what else could we call it) a poem put to life.
And it’s up to us
To re-enchant this planet Earth
We are the elves and the giants
We are the shining ones
Daughters of the Moon
And Sons of the Sun
We are the shapeshifters
We are the mysterious light
Shrouded in mists
At the dawn of our time
And it’s up to us to Re-enchant
This living planet
Up to us to midwife
At our own rebirth
Up to us to send out dead
Along their ancient pathways
To the future
Up to us to re-enchant this
Living planet Earth
It’s up to us to break the spell
That steals the colors
From the world
And leaves it lifeless
It was our spell – we can break it
It’s up to us to break the spell
That steals the magic
From the wind and rain
It is our spell – we can break it
We will dance the magic dance
And our bodies will remember
We will sing the magic songs
And together we’ll remember
How to live together
How to love each other
How to ride the eagle
How to call the deer
Home

Not to belabor the point but we live in an aquarium, a sanctuary, a haven. The beauty surrounds us all the time and yet we pass it by and cut it down. Now I got it. My religious experience turns my day into the reconnect to reenchant, like the re-reenchant of planet earth. It begins to become even clearer. Now I get the environmentalist, the animal lovers, the good Samaritans, the people who want to make a difference, and above all the simplicity of life, the beauty, ReEnchant Planet Earth. I get what ReEnchant is now and how to bring the poem to life.
