Two Songs > One Destination
We assert our power and we chart our direction. We go together.

I think there is no better way to describe what we have to do and where we want to go.
As I struck out on this journey, I could not help but reflect on two songs - by the same artist no less - that so accurately defines our present day moment. Our moment in 2022. About 50-years after these two songs were released.
They are so perfectly perfect in defining where we are, what we need to do, and where we all want to go.
We do have the power. It is there already - it is just waiting for us to pick it up. We can choose to take the power.
Our power comes to us by uniting ourselves together into one community and one voice. We unify, and the power embraces us. The power embraces us when we embrace each other.
Let’s come together. Let’s unify. Let’s embrace the power of us. Power to the People!
And … when our power embraces us … where does that power take us? It takes us to where we want to be. We go together. And we set our course together. Because we have the power when we are together.
We all know we can go to a very very very much better place than where we are right now.
Imagine where we take ourselves. All of us. Our societies, our communities, our lives. Imagine better. Imagine unity. Imagine equity. Imagine respect. Imagine peace. Imagine!
We go together. Welcome to The Permanent Occupy. We go together.
These songs might be 50 years old. But their message is today. Embrace your neighbour - because we are all going together. All 99% of us. Every step of the way. We go together.
Peace.
Power to the People
#MassCivilDisobedience is a must for a permanent occupy. Disruption plus numbers as Roger Hallam says. Since we face the loss of our stable habitat on which all modern civilization was built - calamity will only grow in the coming years. Our governments have broken their social contract and their plans will revolve around control and business as usual. We have to #Degrowth the rapacious corporate entrenched system of capitalism and build something different that services the masses and the planet's ecosystem as much as possible to save as many lives as possible in the coming chaos - food shortages , destructive climate events, floods, fires, displacement of millions of people .
Beautifully said! I agree!
Let's start by committing ourselves to share encouraging and kind words on Twitter and other social media with others. To look for the best in people and focus on creating circles of compassion rather than circles of argumentation. We are here to help and love each other not to judge and argue with each other.
Focus on what we want not what we don't want.
Focus on building not tearing down.
Build something so awesome the old systems will fall away in disuse. Disrupt the old power structures by sharing democratically our goals to build a supportive compassionate society!
Thank you for this great post.
