what is it all for?
asking for a friend ; )
If you are a sensitive (normal, human) soul like me, you might be looking out at the world and wondering, what is it all for?
All this suffering, all this pain, all this “productivity” despite the mounting horrors?
The only thing that might be worth all of this is love; specifically, our experiences of love.
Not just romantic, familial or even friend love - but love for our fellow human, love for the sky, the air, love for the sun, the water, the land. Love for all animals, the birds, the trees, the flowers and bees. Love for spirit and soul and connection to something greater than our smaller sense of self.
Love for life – that we get to experience this earth at all.
As more and more of us wake up every day to the theater put on by the powers that be, we must fight against their stories of inevitability.
The more of us that see that the emperor wears no clothes, the background becomes the foreground; the systems become the stars.
We must replace their visions of dystopia with clear visions of our own.
Their global humiliation ritual is not our destiny.
We can create a more loving world.
Right now, we can all afford to both give and receive more love.
And I think that, in daily life, we are. Many of us are trying to mend the frayed social fabric, more of us learning to “neighbor” one another all the time.
We do not need permission to take small actions that increase the amount of love available in the air.
Our practice for this lunation is centered on love – again all kinds of love – both given and received. It is also an experience of beauty and fantasy.
If we are to dream up better things, we have to set aside time to dream properly.
This new moon can show us the way.
The practice for this particular new moon is really great, you can find the full video version in the Lunar Library and the audio-only meditation in the shop.
stunning piece!
