"LIFE (+ -)"

“…the river needs to take the risk of entering the ocean because only then will the fear disappear, because that’s where the river will know its not about disappearing into the ocean but become the ocean”

– Khalil Gibran

A rare challenging energy has been escalating over the past few months and is highlighting a sense of discord in the world that has been building over the last decade. This irrational pandemic has left us feeling like we have lost control. And the light at the end of the tunnel still seems out of reach. There are those to believe this to be a Chinese conspiracy, some believe this is nature taking back it’s power, others believe this is the wrath of Gods and those who believe the apocalypse is finally upon us. 

In my country, India, I see people walking thousands of kilometers, in pain, to go back (migrate) to a familiar place called ‘home’ from one town to another. I can only see their struggles from the window on walls of my house. Some lost their lives mid-journey. This had left me with a feeling of ache.

It is understandable that many people will want to hold on to the past and its safety nest. We can no longer rely on certain structures and authorities the way we once use to. This underlying energy is unprecedented and is changing established norms. We are being forced to surrender what’s no longer beneficial. This includes our personal ideas of how nature and the world ‘should’ operate.

Its time to change pace, reflect, let go or ‘Subtract’, and create space for something new to emerge or ‘Add’, for we can never truly go back to what we know. We can never go back home. Only Forward.
