Spoken for all those who can’t be present, those who need a wake up call, those who remain vigilant to the work ahead and it is a rally cry for love and freedom as 21st century all systems love movements.
The chant is said three times— softly, louder, then full primal scream. It is meant to disrupt thought patterns, energies and beliefs that keep us enslaved.
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
From longtime social justice warrior Assata Shakur's who lit a candle of loving thought into the heart of fear and apathy and tyranny.
It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
Love is meant to be put into right use full ness. Love is action is justice. It is an experience of right use full ness. Love is what love does. Love in action bares witness to the truth seen with the heart, where we soft focus beyond the recording of the eyes and ears expressing the vision beyond surface trivialities.
Each act of love is a demonstration of the powerful right use of the heart, the example of our oneness of loving our brother as ourself. It is everything that transforms the present moment into love’s miracle. It is you and me in resonance vibrating ever forward with love. It is seeing into a situation and recognizing the act we need to take, it is sharing our gifts in each moment knowing all acts are divinely timed. Showcasing the way we are privileged to offer ourselves by showing up to do what is necessary, to speak into the void of possibility and call out love. To name it and claim it for justice, to reside in a land of truth and connection. This act of showing up for love, in some cases differently than we have previously, in some cases with more love, in some cases with a fierceness of knowing the desired affect and outcome will restore an alignment to our soul’s purpose. To love and respect each other and become beacons of caring and kindness in our communities.
Keep the inner power light radiantly burning.
(Breathe in peace. Breathe out love.)
Be someone today who leads with love.
Things will improve. Love has the will for it and so do you.
I March in March for a Driver's Licence registration for common sense gun ownership.
I pray in this moment for God’s support, help and guidance to make it so. I expect a miracle.
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
Love, Mel
