Slipstream

Our slipstream
Is collective acceleration
Carrying
Human kind
And being kind
In a current more consequential 
than ourselves

Change does not have to be 
s m a l l
Defending
Tactics 
This slipstream can carry us upward
In this moment

Some may see this moment
As chaotic and tumultuous 
We see audacity

This moment is not
Calling us to be cautious

How do we know?
Each child born
Disrupts our habits
And keeps us on the side of possibility
Restoring us in our wholeness

Practical actions
Create binaries
And separate us
From ourselves
Splitting our wholeness

Work in progress
Is not practical
It is wholeness to wholeness
It is worth it
