Keep death as your ally,
just over your left shoulder,
To remind you to love fiercely…
To remind you to stay awake…
To remind you to stand in your integrity
without concern for outcome.
To stand in your own medicine
because that is the agreement
you made with your Ancestors
before coming here.”
When death comes for you…
you want to be standing in your own life
not in another’s…
