Rising up

Aren't we privileged to live in a time when everything is at stake,
and when our efforts make a difference in the eternal contest
    between the forces of light and shadow,
        between togetherness and division,
            between justice and exploitation?
Oh, be joyful that you are a warrior in this great time!
    Will we rise to this battle?
        If so, we cannot lose, for rising up to it is our victory . . .
            If we represent love in the world, you see, we have already won.
