When we experience moments where our sense of control is uprooted and our ability to cling to logic is weakened, we are returned to the principles of nature:
Without the interdependence of species, there is an inability to thrive and demonstrate resilience amidst ever-changing conditions. The intricate design of Earth’s survival is parallel to our relation with one another–and the experience of grief has a remarkable ability to dissolve the barriers we place between not only each other, but between the ecosystems which sustain us, too.
The present circumstances we exist in do not have to be definitive markers of defeat, but can be beacons. Ones that reveal our most devastating wounds and simultaneously, our inherent capacity to reshape the current path beyond what we can even imagine.
Grief is absent of order, yet is a compass back to the core of our humanity. And when we allow ourselves to fully feel, we see the truest expression of authenticity that connects us.
What if the grief we are experiencing–the suffering we are woven into by simply being human, is the precipice of our return? One beyond fabricated realities of progress and instead, into authentic expressions of how nature exists in a constant state of evolution.
The living, breathing organism beneath our feet reminds us that to tend to the environment which sustains us, we must care for ourselves, but to transform alongside the environment which sustains us, we must care for each other.
