“Anchor the Light”

(Wrote on the night of November 5th)

As the election results started to pour in on the night of November 5th, I found myself drowning in despair, fear, tears, and sacred anger. I was grieving the possibility of the truth we came to see the next morning. In that moment of darkness and existential crisis, my higher power urged me to open my laptop and channel this message. The words poured out of me as my heart wept for so many communities near and far – the marginalized, the female identifying, and my own human existence. This message offers a perspective on the darkness of 2024, our acceptance of it, and how we may alchemize it into empowerment; revolution; and healing.

We must accept the fact that we incarnated into a deeply transformative and heavy time. This time period of the human race is marked by the transformation of systems and energies so that the Earth and universe may live in balance. There will always be light and dark, ‘good’ and ‘bad’, but the duality of this Earth has transcended its purpose into suffering – too much suffering. A duality experiment gone array into chaos and imbalance is now course correcting. To bring us back to balance and justice, life on Earth will inevitably get worse before it gets better. I am referring to the New Earth Shift. A frequency shift that is changing consciousness and our collective experience through raising the Earth’s vibration into more empathy, love, and connection.

My intent is not to stimulate fear into the collective, but rather to empower it. The shift and those that live through it will see the light. This time is not completely overtaken by darkness. In fact, we are here to anchor the light. You see ‘good’ all around you if you open your mind and work on matching your frequency to it. Or just open one of the million modes of information and content at our fingertips and search something about people helping people or puppies. This kind of hope core is innate within us because of our choice to incarnate during this time. We internally know that we are equipped to help this shift by using our humanness, empathy, and love.

The darkness shows us the deepest aspects of humanity that need to be brought to light to be healed and alchemized. It is the same as whenever we go through an individual transformation. There may have been a time in your life so far where you chose to walk a higher path by transforming certain patterns, habits, or environments. Even though it was painful and hard, you chose to participate in the process because of what was waiting on the other side – more joy and connection to your authentic truth. That is what we cannot lose sight of as we climb this mountain.

We are already seeing this shift in real-time, and it only continues to pick-up momentum. Imagine a zoomed-out image of the Earth from space. Imagine seeing tiny parts of the surface suddenly light up, slowly but surely – almost like you can see people turning their house lights on throughout the beginning of a day. Now imagine it in the sense of humans waking up to their power, their consciousness, the shift. We are well on our way. Think about the catalytic events that have occurred throughout your lifetime – maybe also your parents’ or kids’ lifetimes. Think about all the issues that have come to light in the most horrid ways – environmental damage; racism; drug epidemics; abuse; abortion laws; flawed politics; war. At the same time, think about all the amazing and progressive things that have come to light in response – the environmental movement and modern sustainability; mental health awareness; more empathy and love; innovation; LGBTQ+ rights. It truly is a full-spectrum of emotion – it reaches all the way from the highest frequency of love to the lowest frequencies of apathy, hate, and shame.

It is much easier to simply ignore this shared collective destiny and dapple in forms of escapism. It is important to highlight how it is a privilege to be able to even understand this shift and have your basic needs met to where you can participate in it through spirituality and activism. It is indeed a burden and a blessing to participate, but know just how magical and powerful you are to this cause. There are so many different ways to participate, even if it is just spreading love and having empathy for the entire collective, including the darkness. The whole universe has eyes on us. 


“Mangled Roots”

I started to write this in December of 2024, but couldn’t quite find the words until just before the inauguration on MLK Day. This piece is meant to represent the darkness coming to light mentioned in, “Anchor the Light,” as well as touch on each piece of America being rebirthed at this time - the corruption of the US government and its relation to big corporations; climate change and denial; Christian Nationalism; and discrimination. 

———-

Left versus right 

But it’s really up versus down 

Mangled men at the top 

Claiming they love their country

Land of the free 

More like land of the creed

God as a justification for harm

Land of the oppressed 

Love thy neighbor 

But only when they look like you 

America, the beautiful melting pot 

Where government loyalty is bought

Corporations muddled with greed 

The inner lining of deep Lenin pockets 

Watered more than our enchanted trees

Pull back the curtain and you will see

The world stage is a strange place to be 


“Mother Gaia”

Inspired by my soul’s infinite purpose and passion for reconnecting humanity to Mother Gaia through transforming systems; sustainability; and honoring indigenous wisdom. 

————

A mountain range with a sunset glow

It’s something we inherently know 

The magic on this big green Earth 

Mother Gaia 

A floating system that seems so fragile 

With the ways that we’ve made her weep 

Her tears are ours to keep 

A violence so gradual 

Without seeing what’s really at our feet

A world with such strength 

Wisdom of unfathomable lengths 

May we learn to dance with her heartbeat

Cultivate a connection so deep 

That all would learn to love again 

Take it back to where it all began 

Tiny particles of star matter 

Light energy all one in the same 

Placed here to play this game 

With mountain ranges and sunset glows 

On Mother Gaia with souls to sow 


“Addiction’s Shattered Illusions”

In honor of my big brother, a lost soul that deserves better. A person I grieve who is still alive. In honor of all the siblings of addicts that dream of a different reality.

———-

Like shards of glass to our existence

A broken version of our essence

A prison disguised as a warm blanket

A portal to a certain amazement 

An escape so powerful and potent 

You’d give up your soul’s true potion 

Warriors with soft underbellies 

Sorcerers of duality in a world so light and dark 

A hauntingly beautiful place 

Sometimes with darkness too heavy to shake 

Alas, a 3-D escape 

Until the glass shatters without a trace 

Nothing left but the brokenness 

Birthed by the chase 



“Dancing with the Dark”

The darkness is just the light disembodied 

Speckles of stardust 

Lost across realms

Turned into just a shell 

How ironic and silly 

That mere matter got bored and just for shits, created a skin suit in a matrix 

Curious to see if it could find itself

Remember the light 

Remember the love 

Fly a kite

Enjoy the sites 

Dance with the dark

But don’t get too lost 

Come back to the body

Be somebody 




“Spine Alchemy”

Beautiful crooked body of mine 

May your resiliency shine

I create light to bring to your wounded frame 

Fuse it into the spaces holding my bloodline’s pain 

Committed to my healing journey without vein or shame 

The cycle ends here 

All sorrow and illness cleared

The alchemy performed in this body 

Ripples far, near, and here

Stretching through past, present, and future years

This lineage will see 

The darkness to light

So it shall be
