2k18

How's your year been so far, Beloved?

From my perspective, 2k18 has been a wild ride.
A tremendously intense experience of transformation and liberation. 
Some days have been more challenging than others, some days have seen more release. Yet underneath, the baseline of profound peace pervades.

Lately, I've been moving through a nakedly honest reappraisal of the whole scene.
Flipping my perspective on its head.
Getting even more creative, and even more audacious about what I'm building, where I'm going, and what I have to give.
There is less and less, within the narrative of this life, which is stylistically designed to hold me back.
Less and less which inhibits me from diving, head-first into the full-spectrum, ecstatic immersion of this time and place.

As the northern hemisphere approaches midsummer, I don't think there is a single person on this planet for whom this has been just another, ho-hum, average year. 
An explosive year, yes. An expansive year, yes. A year of exciting beginnings, and painful endings. Of dramatic gains and difficult losses. Of joy. Of heartbreak. Of loneliness. Of dreams morphing into reality, and reality seeming a dream.
...but average?
No.

To me, it seems, that this year is one which globally, has shattered our collective sense of normalcy, and broken the mold of what we thought could be.

Maybe I'm way off base. 
Maybe it's just me.

Comment below, and let me know.
