Matter suffused with its own inner light,
Raising the Feminine to conscious insight,
Strong, radiant container: Sophia!
Dark, intuitive receiver: Sophia!
Responding with vibrancy to the earth’s plight,
Providing a balance to masculine flight.
We can rise with the fire of freedom,
Truth is the fire that burns our chains,
And we can stop the fire of destruction,
Healing is the fire running through our veins.
We are Alive, As the Earth is alive. We have the power To fight for our freedom. [alt: to create our freedom]
If we have courage we can be healers, [alt: we shall be healers] Like the Sun we shall rise. If we have courage we can be healers, Like the Sun we shall rise.
