We open with gratitude to ground ourselves into the miracle of being alive. Through gratitude we connect to the mystery of life and are able to open our hearts to the beauty and sorrow of the world. When we root ourselves in Gratitude we can access our power to make a change from a place of loving kindness. 

To suffer for the world is another face of love and compassion. When we open our hearts to feel the pain, rage and sorrow for what has been happening to the earth and to our fellow-beings (human and non-human) we can also find the right momentum to access our power to change things and to remember our interconnection with everything. 

As we begin to awaken to the pain of the world we begin to also see the web of connections that exists beneath all things. Our perception changes and so do our behaviors and the way we act in the world, we suddenly begin to notice that we are not separate from the rest of the living world and that we have a responsibility in how we think, act and speak

Our voices are strong and powerful and when we begin to activate them we can bring radical change in the world. As we open up our voices we become true channels for creation to sing itself through us. 

We have journeyed a long way, left behind old behaviors and patterns, seen the interconnection with all of life, let our voices be heard, it is now the time to bring our visions into the manifest world to create a better world.
