State of Affairs

(This is an ad-lib post. No poetry, no metaphors. An observation.)


The economy. The virus. The stock market. The personal lives. 

Everything is volatile. Like one of the tarot card readers said, "there is something much bigger than us." We are part of a collective whole. We are personally impacted in various ways by our immediate and broader environment.

Things are simply magnified. The earth is shaking itself. We, somehow, have created this consciousness. We, somehow, are ready for the next cycle in our lives. Sometimes, the old has to fall for the new beginning to arise. 

The destructive process isn't easy. The very foundation that you may be standing on is being re-arranged. 

In Ayurveda, an individual is seen as part of the whole universe. We should eat certain foods grown during its specified season at specific times of the day in the right combination. Because whatever is happening on the outside is deeply connected to what is happening on the inside. You are not a separate entity. You are separate only in your mind. 

Perhaps, the time has come for us to shed the old skin, like snakes do. 
Perhaps, the time has come to clean up our act and be re-born.

The rain is falling outside my window just as the tears are falling down my face.

The wetness on the outside has permeated my body..

The fear from the political and economic uncertainty has infiltrated my every cell.

This is how it is.

This an an opportunity presented to us. 

May we be brave. May we have the courage to step forward and toward what we really want for ourselves.

May we leave behind old thinking, old patterns, old beliefs.

May we gain clarity and wisdom to walk through hell with grace, for we must return and help the next set of soldiers.
