holy land is everywhere.
holy land is not just one place.
what makes this land holy is the same essence that
denies the borders of countries, that holds true to the
arbitrary nature of these human fantasies
and says
my country is just a smaller piece of what is bigger than me
all that space above my head and this whole planet beneath my
body, and the elements in it that make up my body,
true for all sentient beings.
and love
creates the bonds that matter, bonds between beings that carry their
matter, their bodies with them as cloaks that do not mean to distract away
from a miracle inside each person that life created
life as source, life as source,
and love
is more important and powerful than any phenomenon can name
and love knows that the land is holy, and that toxicity will not just leave,
that we must cleanse our ways to stop offending that which
earth - North
air - East
fire- South
water- West
brought to us like in the story
of white buffalo calf woman
the two leggeds are meant to understand
no one place is to be valued higher than another, that
leads to a disproportionate appreciation among all of us
for places with arbitrary lines drawn,
love
tells us we must level it out, balance ourselves
with our sight. we must undo the poisonous
place holders of colonial mind sets and
start
all
over
