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.
