Observing the sun showing up each morning, what dawns on you?

Whenever Mountain appears in the cards, I am reminded that I AM MOUNTAIN — Earth at her most majestic and serene.

This is a description of my true self and my potential. Culture and “civilization” have done their best to turn this Mountain into a mole hill and I will not have it.

“Civilization” of children has them seen and not heard. No. They embody our future.

“Civilization” of women has us raising the next generation, being the project managers of the family and housekeeping, and ALSO working — while being paid less than men. No.

“Civilization” demands that every individual conform to the desires of those in power, who seek to preserve the existing order… or not.

What dawns on me today is to remind myself, and everyone, that our greatest honor and hope is to be our true selves — to contribute our gifts and change everything.
