there is a cosmos,
in all disorder
a secret order
~ Carl Jung
It has been a year of pain, loss and grief, but it has also been a year of positive transformation in so many ways. Now, transformation is not always easy but, if anything, this year has taught us just how resilient we can be. No matter how dark it gets, we will always be able to find the light, we will always find ways to survive the chaos.
2020 was the year in which the world finally slowed down. We may not have achieved unity, as such, but it was definitely the year in which we all came together to fight the unknown. Knowing that we were all in this together inspired hope and courage to keep doing what is best for humanity. It was a reminder that we need to take care of each other. In distancing we actually connected more.
2020 was also the year in which we learned not to take anything for granted. It was the year in which our hearts softened amidst all the pain and fear. We learned to appreciate the beauty of nature and the ones we love a little more; we learned that happiness is found in the little things, in the most profound way. Miracles dwell in the invisible, if we only trust the process.
It's time to let go and trust that change is always good, perhaps not at present, but definitely in the longterm. To embrace the unknown and learn from what we cannot control. To allow that to transform us. It's time to shift and re-assess what is important to us and, in so doing, to make room for all the good that is on the way, even if we don't know exactly what we are waiting for right now.
As always, remember to keep an open heart and an open mind!
Happy 2021 to all! ❤️
