Hope

I want to share my hope for what’s coming. And I also want to share my guilt. I am in a very privileged situation during this isolation period. I am with my family whom I get a hug from every day. I have the space to be on my own when I want to. I overlook a grand landscape from my desk. I learn new things every day. I often speak to my closest friends all over the world.

I am not afraid of losing my job or keeping a company afloat. I don’t have to fire anybody. I am not worried about how I’ll put food on the table. I am not concerned about my landlord kicking me out. Tragedy has not hit anyone in my circles. I am not putting my life at risk.

I am deeply grateful for all the things that are happening to me and for the ones that are not.

I also feel tremendously hopeful. As many have already shared, this a global wake-up call. The Planet (possibly the Universe) has had enough! So what are we doing to move forward? My belief is that there is a shift in consciousness, values and priorities of enough people to tip the scale towards building a sustainable world supporting the survival of our (any many more) species and of our planet. This shift will not happen for everyone, but for enough of us to make a difference.

Many of us have this wonderful opportunity to spend time with ourselves, get to know ourselves and love ourselves. Take this time to grow and when we’ll roam the globe again, we’ll be ready to start building a world that makes sense.

With love,

Nina
