Navigating uncharted territory
Wayfarer, there is no path
Wayfarer, the only way
Is your footprints and no other.
Wayfarer, there is no way.
Make your way by going farther.
By going farther, make your way
Till looking back at where you've
wandered,
You look back on that path you may
Not set foot on from now onward.
Wayfarer, there is no way;
Only wake-trails on the waters.
The pace of change on planet earth is accelerating, both technically; in the ways we live, communicate, and create, but also adaptively; in the ways, we are understanding ourselves individually and collectively.
The psychological, social, political, and economic dilemmas we are facing are real, vast, and dramatic.
Many of us are psychologically, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually spinning amidst the information, misinformation, contradictory advice, rapidly changing assessments, collective fear and collective consolations, and vastly different ways we are each and together making meaning and acting in this global situation.
The world may be vastly different when this pandemic wanes, or it may return to business as usual. We don't know.
What is true, is that this uncertainty is not new.
It has been here all along, inviting us into a deeper relationship with it and through it.
How we do this collectively, in the structures, practices, rituals, and ceremonies of daily life, is the new and uncharted territory.
It is a territory with a map and path we are creating as we walk it.
