Sisters! Wake up!

Sisters! Wake up! written by Martha Pasternack upon awakening on a recent morning

Sisters! Wake up! Take a deep breath. Become aware. It’s time to come back into your body from wherever you have been while asleep. It’s time to wake up your body...mind...spirit...soul and dreams.

It’s time to get up! and stretch your spines and bones and muscles, your insight...your courage
Shake off the long cozy slumber of the night. Write down your dreams so you can remember them and share them with an elder.
By putting YOUR voice to YOUR dreams you might understand and be able to manifest your dreams.

Sisters! Wake up! It’s time to greet the sun with your song. It’s time to drink the pure water of life.

Sisters! Wake up! It’s time to get ready to go to work. You have over slept and it is time to relieve your sisters who have worked through the night caring for what we all care about. They are tired and need to rest.

Sisters! Wake up! It is your turn to go to work! It is your turn to be in nature; give and receive love; appreciate beauty; nurture solitude; practice forgiveness; laugh out loud; cry for a vision and cherish what you cherish.

Sisters! Wake up! The alarm has sounded and it’s time to wake up. We need you now. We are hungry. We are thirsty. We are tired. We are getting weary and we need your refreshed and rested energy.

Sisters! Wake up! Wash your eyes out with the pure water of life. Your hair looks great! Now, throw on some jeans and let’s get to work!

There is work to be done! It is time to...heal the beauty of this land, It is time to heal our own hearts. it is time to heal the water, the joy, the love. It’s ok. Do your best. The best you can do is ENOUGH if we all join together

Tease yourself into the safety of alert and joyful lightheartedness. It is time to us all to meet at the table and break our fast from courageous action, self expression and deep trust in each other. Come be with us. Celebrate this new day with your love, your dance, your song, your laughter and your prayer.

Sisters! Wake up! It's time to get up!
