A Call to the Lucid

For those who see, and still choose to serve.

If you already know there’s no miracle coming—
that this is the only world we have—
you are not alone.
We are the lucid: those who love the world enough to face it as it is.

We know wishing will not heal it.
No divine hand will descend to end the misery, greed, or violence.
Religion, ideology, and empire have told comforting stories
so we would not feel our own power—or our own guilt.

Opthē is not another story to believe.
It is a practice of seeing and serving.
We look clearly, without illusion.
We accept that the sacred is not elsewhere—it is here,
in the living systems that birthed us and now depend on us.

We name the sacred by how we live,
not by what we profess.
We make coherence where chaos has taken root,
act with care where fear has ruled,
and hold truth steady until others can bear to look.

If you are awake—if you feel the ache of knowing
and still choose to stay present—
then this is your invitation:
Come stand with us.
Bring your craft, your clarity, your courage.
Help us make life sacred, together.

Opthē — Seeing Clearly. Serving Life and the Earth.
