No hashtag to follow, no programmed visual, analog or virtual The tide is rising The time is now Let the river Nile flow Wash me clear of fear Let love be a flood over me I see possibilities on many planes and galaxies Collect the dew on the leaves Let love lead Go with gratitude Wade in the waves Rejoice in the new day that peace will reign/rain
