Divide Light if you dare

. . . tried to leave . . .







 . . . tried to stay . . .

-

let us gather in a flourishing way

contentos  llenos de fuerza to vida 

giving nacimientos to fragrant rios  

dulces frescos verdes turquoise strong

carne de nuestros hijos rainbows 

let us gather in a flourishing way

en la luz y en la carne of our heart to toil

tranquilos in fields of blossoms 

cielo de calor and wusdom to meet us

where we toil siempre

in the garden of our struggle and joy

let us offer our hearts a saludar our águila rising

freedom

a celebrar

- Juan Felipe Herrera -

"If you light a lamp for someone else, 
it will also brighten your own path.”










“Ours is the responsibility to keep our 
lights bright for others to see and follow.”
