September, 2020

As I awoke to the apocalyptic skyline, I told myself, ok, this is how it is now. We’re not going back to anything because there’s nothing to go back to. Everything has shifted permanently. And it’s not done shifting. There’s more to go. More to let go, more to reveal, more to realize. Some days I’m clear that I’m along for the ride of this life and I’m committed to it. Other days, I’m wallowing in all of the unanswerable whys and binging on Netflix.

There is something engrossing about this time. The impact of climate and CV on everything and everyone. No one is immune to the dramatic shifts that have occurred in the past six months and will continue to occur. Because all of the inhabitants of earth are in this shift together, you’d think there would be an incredible unifying aspect to all of this that would not only be palpable but also unavoidable. And maybe just maybe there would be a mass awakening to the fact that we are all the same on a certain level and this sameness should in fact “level” the field that we all live upon. That we would actually crave working with each other to build sustainability and equanimity on all fronts. Nothing and no one would be left out because that just has no place in a world that sees itself as same, equal, unique, and important. There simply is no room, literally no space for anything that doesn’t follow its own inherent talents and path. This is the future and it is here. We can’t look back because there is nothing to see.
