I don’t even have to say in detail what is going on in our lives right now. As the world as we know it falls apart–literally and figuratively–there is solace in what we take with us each and every day, as we walk our talk. Yes, this idiom “walk our talk” . . . which according to internet records first appeared The Mansfield News, printed 1921, has a powerful message that is ripe for these times.

Not going into the politics of our day right now, this Shift we experience is bigger and more expansive than that very toxic and dualistic activity we engage in just because we have always done it that way. And THAT is what this written piece is all about. These times are archived in the stars, encoded in our DNA, in Revelations, are part of our astrological inheritance of the upcoming peace we will all experience. As things fall apart in our personal world, and as well in the political and world at large, we each have a choice to experience our world differently–to choose differently. We can do away with our outdated personal myths about ourselves and replace them with what we truly believe about ourselves. Cultural myths are also dying and we have the opportunity to replace them with myths that fit our own true natures of how we perceive others. This dying world is not to be mourned but embraced as we move along our rightful path to wholeness, we do that ourselves–no one else is equipped to do it for us.

So, walking your talk or path means to be truly who you are in every moment. If that means to be a social activist to help encourage physical change, then so be it. Jesus was definitely an activist during his times (If you look at it, very similar to our times.) If that means being active on social media being teacher to all, so be it. It that means meditating for peace and higher consciousness, then so be it. If it means writing books to share your knowledge of this and other worlds, then so be it. Sitting quietly and doing nothing is also an act, and so be it. EVERYONE is needed right now to help the Shift move along, to go in the direction of more peaceful realms of physical existence that we have inherited.

Don’t go gentle into that good night. These times are ripe for expression of your dying self, which is a false light, to lay bare a road for yourself and others towards that peaceful realm of light.

Dylan Thomas, 1914 – 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
