May all loyalties to Love and Liberation
grow deeper with each day.
May all allegiances to empire be severed
with courage and discipline.
May affection for all neighbors –
local and global, human and otherwise –
be nurtured in care and reciprocity.
May all dreams of future flourishing
and honest reckoning with past and present violence
propel us into more meaningful relationships of solidarity.
May the freedom we seek be a deliverance from
all colonizing forces – within, between, around –
for the sake of all life and lives,
all souls and minds,
all children yet born.
