Earth Day is everyday, you know.  We know.  Like Black History Month.  Women's Day.  Children's Day.  Is. Every.Day. 

Beautiful to see posts of friends outdoors celebrating Earth Day with trees and sky, but today I did not go out.  I went in.  I am Earth.  There is no separation.  What harms my body, harms Earth.  What heals my body, also heals Earth.  I. Went.IN To Mounds. Swelling slopes.  Falls that crash against rock.  Winding Ways to Still, Quiet Lakes.  
Cherry Blossom Sunset.  Jagged Cracks.  Dark Forest Moss.Lush Valley.  
Hot Heart Beat Lava Flow Waves to Ocean Deep.
I.Am.Earth.

​When you first meet, Malevolent Magic hands you the sweet answer you’ve been searching for.
 
All the chaos now has a name.
All the hurt is now explained,
A perfect remedy for the pain.
 
The solution will only cost a little or a lot, but it’s worth it.  After all, there will be no more earthly pain for you.  Once you swallow the remedy, you will be healed and your family protected.  At last, things will come with great ease: money, love, cars, jobs, homes, safety, whatever it is you seek, will now flow to you, the blockage removed. 
 
Malevolent Magic will ask for your complete faith.  It will whisper, “Don’t tell anyone.  We must protect this remedy.  Others will try to destroy it.  We cannot let them.”
 
Your sealed lips are the outward sign of your faith. You leave thinking, “Yes.  That explains it.  Now, I know what must be done.”
 
Once home, a question arises and then another and another.  The sweet answer births millions more questions. They all slither in and out and round your head. There is doubt and self-doubt.  It was there before you met Malevolent Magic, but is now amplified.  You must not speak of it.  You promised. 
 
In Malevolent Magic, there are more questions, less You. 
 
In Love, You have You.  All of You.  More than all of You.  Infinite You.
In Love, questions morph into wonder and awe. 
In Love, questions turn to dust swallowed

​Malevolent magic is activated when you say yes to it. 
 
Saying yes can happen through violent coercion.  It can also happen through passive acquiescence because it has always been this way and you know no other.
 
However, the most common yes to malevolent magic occurs when

• You do have a recollection of faith and love and another way out, but you are too numb to believe. The thought of living life from love or faith hurts too much in this moment.  You are convinced that malevolent magic, which does not appear malevolent at all, is the *only* way out to stop endless cycles of pain and suffering.  At this time, malevolent magic appears as the flame of a candle.  In the darkness, it seems the *only* light and you cannot help but walk toward it.

 
Saying yes can make you feel as if

• It is a good, moral, and noble thing to do
• You will save or help another by doing it

 These are lies.  But they appear to you as reality.
 
The moment you say “yes”

• The healing, empowering story that is yours by divine right is replaced with a malevolent magic program.  The malevolent magic program is a winding road straight to hell.
• You give your power away under the assumption that it is for the greater good because someone else knows best.
• You resist changing your yes to a no because you have invested in the yes. 

 
In saying yes you will NEVER

• Lose connection to God.

 
This connection can never be severed.  In fact, when you say yes to malevolent magic, God will hold you closer, as if you were a child in a feverish delirium in the throes of a nightmare.  God waits for you to wake up in her arms.  When awaken, you weep.  This is the beginning of your NO.  The beginning of NEVER AGAIN.
