Time to reflect..
Honestly, my personal experience of 2020 has been that of privilege. It would be silly of me to complain about how bad the year has been when I've been having such a deep, meaningful, and profound experience of this time.
Sure it's easy for me to say from my cocooned meditation cave, when people are out there having completely different experiences and realities, but I guess that is exactly my point - we all have our own individual realities. We all have our own directions, paths, ups, downs, a-has and ooofs.
Collectively - no doubt - we still have to learn our lessons of self-governance and stewardship. We still have to learn to trust our own inner authority and see it for what it is. See the usefulness in it as opposed to just vilifying it without examining first. The tyrant can only come out of the shadow when we recognize it in ourselves. And trust me, there is a lot to recognize.
Digging through the baggage of the collective unconscious is not the most fun thing to do in the world, but I'll take that and my meditation cave over getting completely sucked up and lost in the madness of Maya any day.
And sure there will always be something to work with, so why not to just live? Well, a whole lot of us have done a whole lot of living already and if it only goes in predictable loops, then, well, I better sit here and reflect until I see a way out of a loop, before I jump headfirst into the next one.
..a book of 365 pages yet to be written.
If I were to leave you with a bit more than just hugs and coffee, I'd wish you to find the opportunities to creatively express whatever begs to get expressed.
Any energies you try to shove under the lid of the pressure cooker, will sooner or later come back up, either oozing or more likely with a bang.. so.. well..
Just sayin'.
Hugs&Coffee,
