Wave after wave, unrelenting and unceasing they came. Forced under by the weight, breathless and beaten, flipped and frazzled.
In our worldwide wrestle, we stopped. A great pause sweeping over the land, a shouting ‘shalom’.
And in that place, something glorious happens… we see! The light beaming through the waves forever pointing which way is onwards and upwards. We MUST follow the light, it is our best and only option, it is our breath, our sight, our life.
Surrounded and saturated… stripped back and refined. We slow, we breathe… just as the ocean does from low tide until high. That’s the thing when high tides swamp the land… a new line is drawn in the sand, will we rise to meet it? New ways, new standards, new perspectives…
What if the year from hell… was changed by the people into something heavenly? What if all we have… is all we ever need? Because what do we really control? What do we really have? What. Really. Matters?
Forced inside and away from life and nature…is it not the simple things we truly enjoy most?
Connection, community, family. Earth beneath our feet and art filled skies over head. Like those skies, we too must create, we tell the stories of imperfect humans striving for the only perfect way. A way that will never be rid with disease, judgement, shut off, closed down or voiceless. In every tribe and tongue it is simply paramount, there is not one single living thing that can thrive without it – Love!
For our people, our planet, our bodies, our hearts, our minds, our communities, our nations – Love – Its. All. We have.
Have a blessed 2021
Big Love
