MY FRIDAY WRAP
I wish you a blessed and nourishing weekend, wherever you are.
Here in the US we have a long weekend which includes Labor Day Monday. Although, as my dentist said today, weekends and holidays have lost their meaning these days. And that said it all to me. Conversations I have with folks in many different (and usually mundane) places like the shops etc tend to always end up at puzzlement. That puzzlement, to the ‘psycho detective’ in me, is a pointer to something deep changing within our inner and outer environment.
We have had this new experience (the c word) in our lives for many months now, through various changes, some dramatic and some subtle, but still it is there as the scenery against which everything is happening. And where once we thought things were going to go back to ‘normal,’ from what I see folks are slowly but surely losing the memory of what that normal was.
And that means our meaning, both individual and collective, is changing. First the meaning we have held onto has to weaken and dissolve, and then we must navigate somehow through a sort of collective not knowing, a collective dark night of soul, where all we can do is put one foot in front of the other, holding our nerve and staying present to what is here.
In my heart I feel we may be at that place. It is profound. We are in a profound place.
I don’t see it as a bad place or a good place. The surface of life is rattling, the waves are crashing, politics is madness, division is rampant, poison coming up to the surface, revelation of deceit and greed all emerging to be seen. Nature is at work through us, as us.
Because we are the manifestation of nature, despite our attempts to overcome it or overpower it. We cannot overpower our own nature, its illogical.
So here we are, you and I and each of us, in new territory, with the old world behind us and with a new world as yet unknown. The weekend has lost its meaning as have so many things.
But still Saturday, Sunday and Monday arrive as a blessing and a boon.
I wish you well and thank you for reading my meanderings, always written with love in my heart and gratitude in my being.
Finally here is another picture of our Peyote puppy who is growing every day and is the source of utter delight to us both. We were joyous anyway, but this creature brings joy to another level. And he is pretty naughty also.
Love Kavi
