Did You Get The Call? | Rebelle Society

DelRita Butler

Did you get the call?

I did.

Did you hear your name

in the middle of the night?

That voice egging you on,

nudging you to awaken.

The silent alarm vibrating

through your heart,

bursting your confusion,

this nameless knowing.

This tumult

of soul seeking truths

Are there words

for this disposition?

Come out,

add to the dialog

this hiding no longer suits you.

You’re on the brink

of transformation

and you need to jump in

or defy gravity,

 and float

into the collective

of indie souls.

Or, into the cast

of nameless and

unidentified

seekers of change,

your new family.

So go out.

Be the change.

By doing,

sharing,

creating.

Walk the walk

and talk the talk

in your gifted way,

your language.

Paint the story,

write the story,

sing, dance,

play the story.

Pass it on,

 teach it, grow it,

word by word,

 by mouth.

Be the person

you want to be.

Be the person

you need to be.

Take your hat off.

Sit down

and journal this pause.

Put on sneakers,

grab a towel,

and run this moment.

Pick up your mat,

find space,

and meditate this moment.

But however you do

what you do,

carry someone with you,

forward.

Talk to them,

touch them,

share fears,

share joys,

speak ideas.

Collectively we cannot

effect change by only watching.

We are the town criers.
