In our contemporary world of uncertainty and fear, we find ourselves in greater need to feel safe and our lives validated. To feel weighted in the realm of emotional overwhelm and tectonic shifting. This is normal, nothing new in our emotional landscaping, except that the scale has gotten higher, broader and deeper in our psyche. As our fears rise, what lowers is our sense of self in the shadow of the future and the glare of how today looks to be. This is a universal picture, a sense of awakening and a pang of unknowing. Be it a social shift or fracturing, a movement non the less.
To live amongst the realm of change is a mindset, to see who we are and how we wish to live. To surround oneself with inspiration. To support and be supported. A mindset shift as well as a life style shift, in endeavors of emotion and action: to be calm and create calm, have love and give love. All this leads to fulfillment, an awakening to our personal needs and the needs of others, as we hurl towards the troubling future. This is personally where I am, shifting from the past to build a clearer picture, a better map as I stumble through doubt and anxiety of who I am today, never mind the future. As big as this may sound, its not, its the realization that to see change, one must be change, and stepping into that light. Not perfect. One step before another.
“Seeing where we are enables our approach to the future, allowing us to find resolve, and build a better tomorrow.”
Beauty and the creative realms have a strong place in our lives, they speak to who we are: our historic lineage. They express and validate our human experience, ease our minds and resolve the issues that face us. It is the innate creative mind that inspires, we know this by what we wear and how move through our day. To appreciate our surroundings and experiences builds memories that move with us forward, vacillating emotion and relieving the sense of the unknown. Seeing where we are enables our approach to the future, allowing us to find resolve, and build a better tomorrow. We know who we are, we’ve built our past, though muddied by the current myopic.

No longer in the want of the parenthetic, looking to simplify and quiet.
Silent, for my own satori.
