3.12.22 // Collective Heaviness of the World

Do you feel it?
.
The collective heaviness of the world right now?
.
I do.
.
I think a lot of us do.
.
It's almost inevitable as we read the news or get on our screens which are regularly filled with shocking and heartbreaking truths from across the globe.
.
It is undeniable that the world is heavy today, and it's undeniable that it has been heavy for years...
.
But I also think that it's undeniable that there is still so much light in the darkness, that the silver lining coating the depths of colorless fears is painted all around us if we choose to see it.
.
And when we unlock the silver lining, we let ourselves breathe, we let ourselves put down the heaviness and we rest.
.
We rest, but we don't stop caring. We rest so we can keep caring deeply. We rest so we can help with our full being. After all, resting isn't weakness, it is the definition of strength- to take a step back and rest our eyes so the colors don't lose their hue or fade to gray.
.
And if we keep ourselves caring deeply and choosing to see the beautiful silver linings and endless colors, we create the opportunity for others to see the color as well.
.
We become a key part of unlocking the heaviness. A small role with the opportunity for huge impact.
.
So in the midst of undeniable truths, we flip the script.
