Mindfulness, ignorance and what’s numb in between

What a beautiful time to be alive!

Between a global uprising and a global virus, it feels like moldy systems are taking their very last breath. Between swiping off the bloody history of our ancestors, and standing today advocating for humanity, within diversity and solidarity, the change is already taking place.

How can we expect to maintain value if we’ve diverted the role of our lands, skies and what’s laying in between into a trashbin feeding our hunger?

How can we aspire efficiency and progress while we feed fear into backlashing criticism, mockery and judgment?

How can we shout for human rights while we fight the liberty in individualism and ignore the collective’s power?

How can we see when everything is made to make us blind?

Do not be afraid of what you do not know.

Do not shame your ignorance, but feed it,
And as you feed it, stay humble.

We don’t hold the same information, we haven’t seen the same things.

Share what your soul has felt, exchange what your brain has collected.

Learn how to take care of your inner state, outside, life is already happening.

Shake your body, raise your voice, value the power of every suspire!
