As we move through these Times we ask ourselves, “On behalf of which future do we wish to create”. The socio-emotional atmosphere is currently shrouded with tension and fear, woven into the fabric of our collective subconscious. It's a blueprint that influences and inspires us to attempt to be on "the right side of history" as it unfolds. Yet, choosing sides inherently amplifies the partisan chasm that cyclically perpetuates itself. 

Weitiko a “spirit sickness” a term used by the Native Americans —captures the essence of the endemic"us versus them" narrative of toxic superiority that fueled the ruthless conquests and massacres of those who challenge the quest for power and dominion.

If we continue to carve a future based on the archaic values of superiority or indignant righteousness that has decimated nations, tribes, communities, and and threatened our very world—we'll inevitably perpetuate the cycle. Recognizing that happiness and survival do not come at the expense of one another but rather flourish as a result of living in collaboration with others is pivotal. 

Let us take this moment to create our tomorrows in service to our future selves. On behalf of the peace and abundance that is our collective birthright, let’s extend a sincere gesture to our fellow human beings, allowing one another’s sacredness to prevail over sheer “rightness”. 

Let us take a sacred pause; where the division can fade. Eye to eye, heart to heart, we are reminded that the essence of what we fight for and what we wish for is interconnected—to co-exist. When we are Separated by a screen and cut off from the co-resonance of one another’s hearts secularism grows. It further isolates us from Creator, intensifying our sense of powerlessness and in turn our necessity for it. 

Reaching a new strata, more and more people are feeling the call to be closer to nature, to return to the garden and to live in communion with one another, with family,  and with friends. There is a coherent beckoning from deep within, urging us to come together and create solutions to the isolation and exclusivity that, at its core, deprives us of truly belonging to one another, nature, and the divine. This change doesn't come from outside, from institutions, bureaucracy, or political leaders. This change will come from within—as a result of pausing when everything says push.
