This is my flag.
I am a human being living on this planet. A planet, human beings named earth. A living sphere, human beings named a planet.
On this planet, there is land among the great oceans. On this land, I mostly dwell. This land of the earth, as divided by humans and named by humans. I dwell within a division and a name, on this planets land.
My only one true and deep claim, is that I am of this earth and existence. A claim that I share equally with every single inhabitant within this atmosphere and all possible reality.
From the soil to the stars and all else that is. We are together, we are equal, we are one.
A gift that my human state provides, is my consciousness. All human beings may discover within this; the thought to speak, the thought to know, the thought to remove our individual state from thought, and to think in great perspective.
It is within this awareness I now speak. As it has led me to a sight, among the blindness of so many.
With an ever pressing fill of words that I can not, and must not, hold back no more.
I have been given a name, yet this does not define me. As this will limit my potential to discover myself.
My skin has been given a colour, yet this does not define me. As this will limit my potential to blend along my growth in coloured union.
I work to earn the paper creations of humans, to spend on my needs and wants, yet this does not define me.
As this will limit my potential to see the true value of my living breath and my freedom.
I believe in something more, yet this does not define me. As this will limit my potential to the presence of myself and to hold the hands of those around me, in faith of humanity.
I have been taught of worldly ways and knowledge, yet this does not define me. As this will limit my potential to write the knowledge of my making and turn the pages of myself onwards.
I live in peace in my home on this planets land. Yet if my neighbours house is burning, I will not turn him away. As the land he dwells is on the land I dwell.
Matters not the human names this earths lands hold. Or if distances between us hold imaginary lines. For they should not contain our love.
As this limits our potential to join in powerful union and love one another in our collective peace.
There is hatred in our world, among the names of others. Yet I will not spread their hatred, by hating in return. And putting hatred in a basket with a name-as made by humans, that does not define all hatred.
As if I'm walking on the lands of earth, and I may be bitten by a snake, or I may not. Yet I will not walk in hatred of them, as this limits my potential to focus love in all else that passes by. So I may walk in calming peace on the lands, and spread the trust for others to walk with me. Not in readiness for a striking snake, but with readiness to live among all things. Together.
We are contained within the limits of our human self. In all that it is. Yet we are not contained by the perceptions, knowings and judgments of all else that has preceded our time here. As created by the evolving consciousness of the human minds before us.
As this limits our potential and the potential of our lives on this planet. To rewrite and reshape our future. So we may create a way of life as beautiful as we can imagine. And live together as we already are in presence, yet less the divisions we have fabricated ourselves that hold us separate.
So we may rise, not as nations, but as a unified humanity. And as a unified earth. Ready to fulfil the potential we could have unitedly.
With this flag of earth, flying on the frontiers of our consciousness and the frontiers of our place beyond our lands. Beyond our earth.
Ready to expand the breadth of our flag ever onwards, to contain the whole of that which we are so infinitely a part of.
To grow ever onwards.
To be all we can.
In all we are.
Together.
With love.
