Evocation

A tree does not bloom without roots.

A river does not flow without a path.

A house does not stand without a foundation.

Man brings the seed.

Woman brings life to it.

Man brings structure.

Woman fills it with warmth.

Man brings clarity.

Woman moves it into wisdom.

Neither is whole without the other.

Neither can rise alone.

And yet—

we built a world that forgot this.

We built a temple, empty side.

Men became the hollow walls,

nothing sacred would last.

Women became the light,

told to stand outside.

I’m sorry.

For the words unspoken,

for the walls I built,

for the love I did not know how to hold.

Thank you.

For the lessons wrapped in pain,

for the wounds that shaped me,

for the mirrors I could not yet face.

Forgive me.

Not because I ask,

but because we both deserve to be free.

A man who cannot plant with love

will harvest with regret.

You were told to lead,

not how to listen.

You were told to build,

not how to let life move through you.

And so we created a world

where the mind became a cage,

where order became control,

where power became fear.

A man who fears the wild

will never taste its fruit.

It is time.

To plant with reverence.

To build with devotion.

To hold the container,

not demand what fills it.

A woman does not need a pedestal.

She does not need a throne, nor power

She needs space to rise,

to create,

to bring life to what is worthy.

Can you offer that?

Can you build without controlling?

Can you hold without gripping?

This is the quality of oneness.

The river carves the valley,

so the land can flourish.

Roots anchor deep,

so the branches can reach the sun.

The time for wholeness has arrived.

The time of brittle power is over.

The structures of control have collapsed.

The weight of the past can no longer hold us.

What remains is this—

The earth is calling for men of Awareness

who are willing to be whole.

Men who stand grounded,

so women can rise.

And when they rise—so does the world.
