Reset Corroboration

I just read this compelling, albeit very long, essay: https://charleseisenstein.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/files/The-Coronation-by-Charles-Eisenstein.pdf

Towards the end he states, “As Rebecca Solnit describes in her marvelous book, A Paradise Built in Hell, disaster often liberates solidarity. A more beautiful world shimmers just beneath the surface, bobbing up whenever the systems that hold it underwater loosen their grip.

For a long time we, as a collective, have stood helpless in the face of an ever-sickening society. Whether it is declining health, decaying infrastructure, depression, suicide, addiction, ecological degradation, or concentration of wealth, the symptoms of civilizational malaise in the developed world are plain to see, but we have been stuck in the systems and patterns that cause them. Now, Covid has gifted us a reset.”

Onward

Last night my son and I watched this new Pixar movie. A chosen reprieve from the news, it was perfect and just what the doctor ordered! It’s about two teenage elf brothers on a quest to discover if magic is still left in the world. Packed with vibrant color, adventure, acknowledgment of the human connection and life’s complexities, it is indeed magical. Happily, Onward provided a peppy start to week #3 in isolation.

Auspiciousness

A friend posted a photo of a double rainbow outside her window with the caption, “AHH! Still double rainbows in the sky! Auspiciousness in the air….from inside out.”

Admittedly, I had to refer to the dictionary for the meaning of this word.

Heavy Cascade

When I painted this in 2017, my mother had become ill and I was feeling a heavy burden on my shoulders. Today, it’s ever more relevant with the cascading effects of all that’s happening; effects loaded with the gamut - illness, suffering, death, birth, love, kindness, compassion, individual and collective transformations, innovation, et cetera. In the midst of crisis there are always blessings and opportunities for evolvement.
