What is this moment we’ve been waiting for—
Right Here Right Now?
Where are we going when we turn our vehicles into Tetris miracles
Bins upon bins with
As many drums as can fit into a Suburu
(seventeen)
Baskets and bags stuffed with
bells and rattles
Sticks and shakers
Bones and skulls and music makers
Flowing scarves and jingly hip wraps
Bindis yarn hair traveling clothes racks
Utility belts with fifteen pouches tools for
Cutting twine and tightening rope splitting
Wood and carving wood tools for singing
Throat coat tea and slippery elm lighters
Candles white sage where are we going
Where we must remember
The journal with the words to that amazing chant we heard
six years ago and want to bring back
Power tools (drills and athames), raffia-adorned masks
Organic, free range, non-GMO, gluten-free, all-natural, fair trade seventy percent
Dark chocolate flecked with espresso or ginger or
Bacon
And
Lots
And
Lots
Of
Bug stuff?

The moment that is here right now is
Free form spiral leaping flame
The snap crack daddily pop of lead becoming pure
Limbs Snake mid air
Hands Raise mid prayer
Sticks are ready
Drums are steady
Freeze this vision in your mind this holy golden moment a gift of the divine
We are challenged to an ordeal, a ritual that’s real
Marked by drumbeats fast feet flying voices crying testifying
We can feel this good all the time
Feel the love pump going
Seratonin flowing
Let the way be open let the way be open let the way be
Open your hearts open wide let spirit shine open your
Hearts so that you can play the part you were born to play you have a responsibility
To feel this good in your skin You have a divine order
To let your soul expression sing You have a sacred duty
To align your design with Spirit divine a blessed right
To recognize your sacred worth
Reclaim your power
Transform the earth
The moment that is here right now is intuitive rhythm and spontaneous pulse
It is soul in hand on heart, it is spirit throbbing true
For you came here with all of your trappings armor rattles ecstatic clapping
You came here on instinct on knowing the time is right for you to open up and
Unfold through the night so
Take it sing it drum it dance it serve it now’s your holy chance to
Push yourself surprise yourself break through your walls you’ve put there out of fear that
You will fall we will
Lift you up
Like a phoenix from a fire
Brothers and sisters spread your wings and fly higher
Burn away the shame that binds and celebrate this birthing time
For if you aren’t serving your highest vision of yourself
You ain’t serving this fire.
The moment that is here right now is trust. With pounding hearts and open eyes
We are growing roots that stretch down and faith that reaches out
For you are the one we have been waiting for
We see you we honor you we empower you to be who you are for now we’re
Flying spinning shaking standing leaping up in love commanding
You take this moment, ride this moment, own this moment right now
Ain’t no moment like this moment ain’t no moment like this
We see you hold this through the night and own it at first light we see you grow
We see you change we see you move and rearrange and now
We’re
Synced
We’re
In
The
lock it stock it grab it own it shake it make this
The moment we’ve been waiting for this heartbeat
Dancing kissing union embracing yes our highest vision as we celebrate
New life new day the light is brightening in your eyes surprise yourself don’t stop
Keep playing praying staying solid steady strong we’re welcoming the golden dawn
This is the moment here
See smiling faces near
Ecstatic union kiss
Bodies in rhythmic bliss
Feet twitching flying high
Arms reaching to the sky
Keep pounding, sounding through
Keep shaking, breaking through
Limits you thought you knew
Now see what we can do
Pa do Ta go do Pa Pa do Ta go do Pa
Pa do Ta go do Pa Pa do Ta go do Pa
Kuku for cocoa puffs kuku for cocoa puffs
Kuku for cocoa puffs kuku for cocoa puffs
Keep at it strut your stuff
Dancers are hanging tough
Savor the taste of sweat
Take notice of your breath when
Sunrise is really here
Gold light has now appeared
Bathe us in golden light
Consume this holy night
Spirit Di-vine we surrender to You—
This is how we do it.
This is what we came for
This is why we’re here and will return
For a time
And a time
And times
