> > Soulful Saturday 4.0 - Week #32: paradox
It’s wild to think about the number of signs and gentle nudges, the deep thoughts and meaningful readings, the situational awareness and the emotional intelligence that this world brings; yet, it feels like existing in this perplexing paradox — one filled with moments of sadness and hope, of misconceptions and comprehension, of fear and love.
And through the negativity of the news and the justification of judgement, the half truths and the self-preservation, it makes sense why this space feels heavy… as if the goal is to create so much anxiety that we have no other option but to shut down, shut off, shut out. We have less grace for humanness and more insecurity, because we’ve had an overreactive nervous system, unsure about the future while the divide continues to syphon our compassion.
But maybe this is where we solidify our endless supply of hope, believing the storm ends, infusing kindness back into humanity, instinctively seeking joy rather than judgment, strengthening the muscles in our every day to make the world a little better because we stopped long enough to listen to the devastation this world causes while generating assurance for one to continue forward.
