Moontiger Liberation Pact

A sacred agreement for myself during a regime of oligarchs that feels intent on destroying us.

A red shouldered hawk that has a nest in the woods behind my house. She is exquisite and let me get surprisingly close this evening. She was perched over my pond, looking for frogs. I often see her flying and wish I could fly free like her.

I am no longer available for a life shaped by fear, shame, or scarcity. I will not sacrifice myself, my well-being and my mental health for a system that is intent on enslaving and destroying me, my fellow beings and the planet we call home. I will help build something better for all. I strive to free myself and help others free themselves in whatever ways I am able.

I release these lies I was taught:

That I must earn my worth.

That my value is tied to productivity and money.

That I must shrink to be safe and loved.

That I am not enough or too much, or maybe both at the same time.

Instead, I embrace these truths:

I am already worthy.

I am a vessel of wild magic and deep love.

I was made to be free.

My softness, my joy, my love and my fierceness are sacred.

I pledge allegiance to:

My perfectly imperfect body.

The fire in my belly.

The roots that connect me to all that is and will ever be.

The voice in my bones that says I was the Earth’s child first.

The compassionate world I am here to help imagine and love into being.

I make this pact with my Wise Wild Self:

I am not invisible.

I will rest when I’m tired.

I will dance when I feel moved.

I strive to see and speak my truth, even though I’m afraid.

I embrace compassion for all.

I am sanctuary.

I am stardust and wild magic.

I do not walk alone. I walk with Earth, the elements, Spirit, my sangha, and my guides.

I am already free and now, I choose to live it.

So it is. So mote it be.
