Three.
The end of it all. Our Crisis era. A well spring of uncomfortable feelings. The bone chilling reality.
As we ride through the current upheaval of the planet I can’t help but wonder what this mixture of events is leading us to. The Misinformation bandits gestating on their half baked ideas of freedom. Politicians greedily stuffing their pockets full of gold, mouths full of cake & minds full of unholy fallacies. Instead of leading nations by holding the reins & steering us away from disaster. Illness appearing from the shadows, it’s ghoulish gaunt appearance leaving an unsavoury taste in everyone’s mouth. The Mercury continues to rise, leading to further devastation around the globe, loss of habitat & life not just for animals but humans too. War horses seemingly starting to march in all directions, eyes ablaze with fire, leaving hellish landscapes and muddy bloodied footprints in our minds. Feelings of being oversaturated, overextended & overstimulated can be seen all around.
Continue we all do to feed the machine. En masse buying, doom scrolling, uploading, draining, consuming.
Things have always been bleak.
Not much has changed on that front. Dark growth periods in which the worlds cyclical nature tends to ebb & flow will continue on their course. The light speed ways in which we consume the world’s oddities will get faster and faster adding to the pressure of it all.
The coming spearhead may drive into the chest of society & stick hard, Or slice straight through & glide out the other side.
All is not lost, as things seemingly descend into entropy, it’s easy to forget that it is within the universes nature for order to flow back into things. Glimmers of hope can be few and far between in such times, but maybe not as far as some may believe. Leaning on a book in order to escape this world momentarily can suffice. Leaning into creative pursuits can carry unfathomable weights. Creating a routine or reshaping an old one can give new meaning to life. Sharing with those around will shape them and yourself as you come out the other side of it all. Sometimes just taking a quiet moment to reflect can put things into perspective.
Take a deep breath, hold it momentarily & breathe out.
