The Price of Liberation – Fighting Back
“Love don’t make no one bleed…….no-one bleed” – Cherry Natural. The words quoted above are from the intellectual “bad gyal,” Cherry Natural, excerpt from a poem called “Fight Back” from her newest album. They struck me not just because of the context of domestic abuse which they directly describe, but the reality, that it is very important for each one of us to realize, which is that any harm that comes upon us has no roots in love. Often when we make up your minds in absolute resoluteness, a challenge or few may come to test our resolve, to which we must respond accordingly and MUST overcome. One is left to decide when it comes, whether to retreat or go forward come “hell or high-water”. Fortunately for those who decide to stay the course, you may leave with “scars” from the battle but you are triumphant in knowing the choice made was grounded in your greatest intuition and in your best interest. How many who read these words are staying in some situation that no longer serves your soul’s benefit? I encourage you to the uttermost, to begin the steps which are necessary to ensure your survival and happiness. Self preservation is of the utmost significance and importance. Don’t wait or delay, for some of the most destructive things are those which we hold so close to our hearts. If it’s a battle, build the courage to fight. Sound the alarm if necessary. Get support. It could be a job situation, a parasitic relationship, chains of depression or circumstances of poverty of the soul, whatever the “downpression”, whatever is holding you back cannot be worth the sacrifice of your wellbeing. The well be-ing and being well must be preserved. You will survive if you decide to gain courage, be firm but also utilize wisdom. Do it now for yourself. Step out. Walk out. Run out. Fight. Fight Back. It’s better to be prepared to face the uncertain than to remain in familiar silence and pain. A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow may not be immediate, but if the choice made is executed, the tomorrow you desire will become a greater possibility. I speak because I too have had my mountains to climb and rivers to cross and the journey is not over. I can assure you though that you are not alone. I will not accept, just will not accept, Just THIS when there is so much more. Yes, the fire will not stop burning. Don’t let your fire die. I move continuously forward, I speak to I self as I speak to you, “Love self first, step into the unknown, you can make it on your own {separated from the downpression}” DON’T ACCEPT DEFEAT. You deserve better”, these words ringing in my spirit, I extend to you. In this moment when the burden feels the heaviest, and the journey feels long, there is strength in these words, as you partake of them. I send them to you for strength and for endurance. Brave Hearts must assemble when the call is made. Guidance and love on the trod. Bliss-ed Love Warrior Sistren
