THE NOW
There’s an increasing sense that humanity has arrived at a crossroad.
A combination of our numbers and lifestyle have impacted the planet. Our economic and political systems are in disarray. Technology has spread greater knowledge, while at the same time spreading fear and misinformation.
Living in the ‘now’ is confusing, not least because so many new things are happening. The world seems simultaneously wondrous and scary. Enlightening and fearful.
How best can I contribute to this all of this? What response best adds to this world, rather than takes?
Part of me hopes that now more than ever our human instinct for survival, our resourcefulness and our longing for connection are being challenged to step up and step into our lives.
I see nothing productive or creative about pessimism, but aspire to be loving and generous to others and to care for my immediate native environment. While saving the world is beyond my power, living in the ‘now’ and contributing whatever I can seems the best personal response to the times in which we find ourselves.
Perhaps in this era of reckoning, the best of me can shine when it’s needed most?
