how auspicious! the astonishing light of being weekly image falls on this weekend when people all over the world come together once again to stand together, to march together, to witness together our solidarity with all our relations…
thousands and thousands speaking truth to power…
we are standing together in love for love knowing this most powerful medicine, love, trumps hate…
we are standing together in peace for peace knowing all life is sacred…
we are standing together in respect seeing the inner light dwelling in all…
we are standing together in strength, both fierce and gentle, empowered to go the distance and keep the faith…
we are standing together for equality and justice and freedom and a world that works for all..
today, we see the world coming together, each one of us picking up a thread to weave the new story, knit the new world founded on justice and guided by love where everyone is in belonging to the whole, vital for the weaving of the interconnected web of life in a circle forever unbroken…
let us celebrate the astonishing light of our being through music… below are the lyrics and video showcasing an inspiring group of women from all over the states who practiced online and then came together at last year’s march meeting for the first time… yes to re-joy-sing, yes to harmony… it’s been suggested that this song become our anthem, hell yes to that as well… agree?
I CAN’T KEEP QUIET
put on your face
know your place
shut up and smile
don’t spread your legs
I could do thatBut no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, if I just lie still
Would I be that monster, scare them all away
If I let the-em hear what I have to sayI can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh ohI can’t keep quiet
For anyone
AnymoreCuz no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, take that dry blue pill
they may see that monster, they may run away
But I have to do this, do it anyway
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh I can’t keep quietLet it out Let it out
Let it out now
There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
Must be someone who’ll understand
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out nowI can’t keep quiet
“Quiet”
