Dreamers of the Same Dream

Ayres Rock, Google, from worldmusic.net

I am seeking out the ancestral songlines

imprinted on the earth during the dreamtime.

Along those pathways will I walk,

loving every rock and tree.

The aborgines, wise beings, tell us 

we have lost our way,

that we are dreaming 

the wrong dream.

Our thoughts are full of More, and Not Enough,

instead of How do we give back?

Our thoughts are of Different and Other

instead of We are All One,

dreamers of the same dream,

connected to the All That Is.

The earth, too, is alive,

and everything alive has a spirit.

Friends, it is time to awaken

to a dream of a new earth.

We have been asleep

for far too long.

Awaken, before we wake into

a nightmare.

The world we see

reflects our global state 

of inner consciousness.

If we believe pollution, imbalance, scarcity, war

are inevitable,

that balance is impossible,

so it will be.

Change comes from being,

not only from doing.

Let us break free of our collective trance

and join the millions of others

who are breathing a new world

into existence.

Please, dear friends:

Awaken.

A new dream is now unfolding.

Let us dream ourselves awake

into a brighter day.
