Happy New Year!
Forget about that Gregorian timeline everyone keeps raving about, in this community, we celebrate the moon! According to the mainstream, we're still in 2026 - but by our measure, we're already in the year 4724! That's nearly a 27 century long discrepency. Talk about a margain of error!
As for the poetry of the moment, chill out. You think the sky's never fallen before? In this collective culture, we've had at least a good dozen different dances with collapse since Y2k alone. Every generation has made it through their own "end-times" scenario - how many more do you think we'll have to face in the next 2700 years? See folks, this show is far from over.
To make this make sense, let yourself relax. Turn off all your devices and tune into life. While our black scry screens keep us tuned into stressful and divisive things, the sun still shines and the birds still sing. So go outside and hold the hand of someone you love. Share a long, sweet stroll in silence. Be a source of softness for your world - what better way to start the New Year?
