00:08:54.060 through winter's long dark we have rested and planned laid roots through the frozen and ice

00:09:03.040 hardened land deeper than sorrow more vast than the cold we grew what was needed before we were

00:09:10.600 told. Now let the ice melt. Let the crust break and crack. Let the green push up through what

00:09:19.920 was holding it back. By the spread of these roots in all cardinal directions, let the land rise in

00:09:26.900 warmth and in fierce protection. Cover the innocent. Cover the child. Cover the creature that runs in

00:09:35.080 the wild. Cover the marginalized. Cover the meek. Let the roots find the ones who are too tired to 1.00

00:10:46.720 Lend out your strength, our need is most dire.

00:10:49.780 Do what you can, hold us through the fire.

00:10:52.620 As spring comes, let us blow like the bellows, send hate tumbling back all over its fellows.

00:10:59.240 Love will triumph, love will survive.

00:11:01.920 Till then, let's build worlds where all can thrive.

00:11:05.260 Now is the time we've shed our old skin as the ground begins to wake again.

00:11:10.880 We call on the goddess and here is our plea.

00:11:13.820 May we live in a world where everyone's free.

00:11:16.360 Is it too much to ask?

00:11:18.420 They no longer wear masks so that those who are blind can now see.

00:11:22.620 their destruction, their hate. This cannot be our fate. But lately it feels I wake up with a scream

00:11:29.580 when all I was doing was trying to dream of a world beyond this heartless regime.

00:11:36.020 A dream of abundance, higher love, and of peace. I pray to her, no, it's not out of reach.

00:11:43.460 As the spring winds blow in, transform chaos to collective power, and our community gardens may

00:11:50.760 always flower. With joy and love, respect and care, by the planting of our seeds, create a world

00:11:58.300 where all are freed. And when the next chapter of our stories told, a world of love's what will

00:12:05.460 behold. Everything is made up. Let's fuck it up. Standing on the surface of a pedestal throughout

00:12:16.880 time reclaiming my own purpose of those things i left behind step into the wonder and through the

00:12:24.260 looking glass i hope you feel my thunder as i bring you to my mass kneel down at my altar

00:12:30.760 lean into my heart no i'll never falter and find me in the art this equinox no paradox it's as

00:12:40.980 As clear as the scars on my face, as clear as the path we will take chopped through the

00:12:47.700 bramble of late-stage anthropology, no apology, we've had it officially.

00:12:56.340 And we will be a herd of wildfire horses stampeding, impeding any desire or ability to exploit

00:13:05.380 us.

00:13:06.380 Oh, lords of death cult industry, retire.

00:13:12.420 Play with your grandkids.

00:13:15.340 Leave the earth in the hands of those who care, if you dare.

00:13:21.240 To raw dog life without power and control, it makes things hard sometimes.

00:13:27.500 But here's a thought.

00:13:30.180 Some things can't be bought.

00:13:33.240 And what's so great about rationality, anyway?

00:13:37.240 It's a new day. It's a new time. A new paradigm.

00:13:42.240 And your wars and lores no longer apply because we fly.

00:13:49.240 In the unchoreographed murmuration of care that is what community means,

00:13:57.240 We are heard and will be heard

00:14:01.760 Calling in the light of Ostara

00:14:05.580 Help us grow up and show up

00:14:09.380 Become a force to behold and be held

00:14:49.580 The machines are useless now.

00:14:54.200 This equinox, no paradox, it's as clear as the scars on my face.

00:15:00.040 And similarly, our magic cannot be erased.

00:15:06.080 On the wall of eternity is a pentagram carved by a slow, deliberate drip, drop, drip, drop,

00:15:14.580 drip, drop.

00:15:15.580 It won't stop.

00:15:52.460 too uneducated and unmotivated to rise up. Our streets are red with the dripping blood of our

00:15:59.440 citizens and residents of the negligent and hateful hands of the government. They spin lies,

00:16:05.620 they twist the truth
