Opening yourself up to everything and everyone
The news “reported” that a storm was coming and that we should be prepared for power outages. At three AM this morning I woke up from sound of strong gusts of wind and now that there’s light at seven AM, I see the trees dancing in full force over the rippling waves of the Pacific Ocean.
There’s a storm brewing in many of us right now trying to “make sense” of how our world changed so quickly. Many people wanting for everything to get back to “normal” and we have yet to experience the true “cost” of what’s transpiring.
Some of us are in deep mourning around what we have lost, some feel a sense of despair as we experience our freedoms “being taken away” and some are simply going inward and cleaning out our deep conditioning and trauma. We each weather the storm in our own way — when we choose how we respond to the level of disruption we experience.
For me, it all unravelled when I started questioning everything after years of staying silent. I always felt a bit of an outsider and moving around from an early age always made me different, especially when I arrived at a new school in a new country in the middle of the school year. Can you imagine always being the new kid who was not like everyone else?
