Being part of the solution

If there’s some truth in all this, then on one level we’re doing just fine.
All is as it should be. It simply behoves us to learn how to align
ourselves with the spirit of the times - how to dance with Chaos.
How to stay grounded even when everything around us is turning upside down.
How to be passionate and go with the fiery nature of our feelings. How to let
go of all we cling to, even our sense of identity, and trust life to take us exactly
where we need to go. How to listen to our intuition so we know how to take
steps in the dark.
And perhaps more than anything, one of the central teachings of the
rhythm of chaos is that we are truly one. All the walls we’ve put up
inside and out to keep ourselves apart from each other: they’re all past
it now. We are united in our common humanity, and the mysterious
dream that’s dreaming us all, as one.
