Full Rabbit Moon

   We're traversing some mystic moments at the moment. Can you feel it? We've been raving about this magical moon for a few weeks now, but we're not the only ones. Interestingly enough, over 1⁄4 of the planet's population is fasting right now in celebration of the Ramadan Moon. Even the skys above aligned with a planetary parade and a full lunar eclipse to highlight this epic phase! And let's not forget the Spring Equinox too! This is certainly a special time, and if you're too busy to notice - you just might miss it!

   When the veil wears thin and the magic runs thick, it's absolutely critical that we check our perspectives. Are we caught up in the mist of a narrative, blinded by delusions, or can we see things clearly as they are without bias? Humans are meaning making machines. It's almost impossible to witness an instance without putting some skewed version of our own story on it. Then, as with any tale, there are heroes and victims. Which one do you get to be?
   Shifu says, "You do it how you view it." Meaning, if you see yourself as a hero, you might feel justified to crush a few eggs to make an omlette; and if you see yourself as the victim, then there's always going to be someone to blame for your troubles. This month, try to remove yourself from the plotline all together and take on the role of an observer. Watch your life play out like a Broadway musical. Aside from any absolutes or non-negotiables, you may be surprised to see how many things in life will resolve just fine without your two cents. This could be the perfect perspective to find some humor in your story - because if you think about it, the only difference between a tragedy and a comedy is the punchline. 🥁
