Your heart begins as a door in the side of an infinite cliff wall and there is an endless eternity of earth on the other side of that door. Some will believe it is just the door itself that is the heart so they polish it and engrave it, build a mote around it and a protective wall. They try their utmost, in futility, to keep out the machinery that comes to extract the earth that is behind their heart’s door. But grief comes to us regardless of our strength, and it bypasses our defences, and yes it is true that sometimes those who we love are the ones who hurt us the most. But the grief is not there to destroy the door around which you have built a fort. It is there to excavate the earth and create space in the eternity of the cliff wall. The grief comes to carry away that sensitive dirt to create space in the eternity of your heart. To help you create tunnels and terraces, stairways of immaculate elegance, interconnected dwellings for all the peoples of the world. And if you do not tire from this digging, if you continue allowing grief to enter each time she knocks on your door, perhaps together you will tunnel pathways into other worlds. #Grief #Growth #Heart #Connection #Resilience #Strength #Hardship #Love #Petra #Poetry #travel #writing Full piece at https://tinyurl.com/y3gnurdy
Loving the work of @brenna_quinlan lately. Check it out... there are limitless ways in which we can create positive social change and art is a powerful tool to implement. Journalism, poetry, filmmaking, zine making, crowd funding projects, studying a relevant field, changing education, dance, music, teaching children, public speaking, advocacy, egging politicians... there is no end to the possibilities available to you. So many ways you can engage with creating a just, peaceful and sustainable word. And it's all ACTIVISM... you don't have to get arrested for trespassing to make a difference. #StopAdani actually #FuckOffAdani #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #Justice #sustainability #Action #Activism #YouthMovement #Newkind #StraightEdge #EcoFeminist #Vegan #Vegans #AnimalLiberation #EnvironmentalProtection #Art #Change
Fuck You ADANI... you will not destroy our environment. "Have a conversation with CSIRO" and "Gov is keen for assurance".... Mmmmm smell like corruption much??? Mellisa Price just straight up tells CSIRO that they have "approved" revised plans they haven't even seen. Cos the government is "keen" on it. Gotta love leaked hand written documents 🤣🤣👊🏽🤘🏼✊🏽 #StopAdani #FuckOffAdani #Corruption #Straya #Adani #EnvironmentalProtection #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #Australian #Politics #RiseUp #YouthMovement #Revolution #Change #Justice
On April 13 1985 Danuta Danielsson a Jewish-Polish woman whose mother was taken to a concentration camp in WW2 hit a local neo Nazi with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden. The neo Nazis were subsequently expelled from the city and a statue was made in her honour. 34 years ago Danielsson taught us the amount of respect that must be given to fascism: none. #RiseUp #NewLeaders #YouthMovement #Change #Justice #AntiFa #StraightEdge #Vegan #ClimateAction #ScoMo #Action #Activism #election #Straya
It takes patience, energy, focus and resilience to stare down the barrel of all the things that hurt us in this world in order for us to build new ideas and pathways of thought. And then the motivation to continue working towards them. We don't get to change the world in the comments section or in random dinner party conversations (though sometimes you can) True change requires the strength to consider opposing ideas at the same time, to look deep into why the terrible injustices of this world happen in the first place, and the patience and sacrifice to actually commit yourself to the task. This is the view of my desk on this Saturday afternoon. The only thing that helps me keep a grip knowing that 2739 people took their own lives today is the fact that I am still working towards finding out why, and perhaps how to stop it. #SocialChange #Justice #EndViolence #Evolve #Resilience #change #patience #presence #solidarity #EcoFeminist #Understanding #Power #RemakingMen #Focus #Motivation #SuicidePrevention

These contractions are getting closer together and each time more intense. Sometimes I wonder if the collective trauma we are experiencing is all part of this worlds' labour pains. Climate change, the loss of species, human violence, economic injustice, famine and social unrest... Are we about to be born before our due date? Are we about to be ejected from this great Earth, our womb, before we are ready? Did we develop properly and fully or will we be sent forth prematurely? Did we ruin our chance to reach our fullest potential as a human race that lives in symbiotic peace and prosperity with the rest of the universe? These contractions are getting closer together and more intense. And I wonder if soon we will be released of the physical world and sent into the next? Have we cleansed and purified our hearts enough to be able to navigate the world after this? I fear that soon we will find out my friends... But let me assure you of one thing. Your heart is your umbilical cord. It is the connection to the source of life and your means of communication with your creator. So keep it clean and open if you wish to continue to grow and develop. #EcoFeminism #Earth #ClimateChange #LabourPains #Ecology #Feminism #Nature #Humanity #Evolution
