Letting Go vs. Openness

Letting Go vs. Openness

Perspective is everything, especially when working with our own spirituality. We are driven to unfold, blossom, and become the best soul we can be – so this requires deep introspection, which inevitably forces us to examine much about how we are perceiving ourselves in relation to reality and in which the way language structures our thoughts.

I had a completely different topic in mind for this month’s blog, until again another mass shooting happened in America; until witnessing another act of racial discrimination with an innocent Hispanic doing his job; until seeing more people on social media driving a wedge between themselves and their fellow citizens over politics; until seeing more atrocities in Ukraine being committed under the ruling of a madman who should never been allowed near the levers of power.
