Painting by John Rogers Cox

“Chaos images the beauty of what is unpredictable. That is why it is so important not to try to define the future at this time. We have to allow chaos to transform our world, to bring its own quality of wonder into our lives.

And in the coming years we will watch as chaos comes onto the outer stage of our lives, as our world dies and waits to be reborn. Those of us who have entered the borderland in our own journey can welcome what is formless and unknown, can work with the light that unbinds. We have also learned to respect this power, felt it in our own body and psyche…Rather than focusing on resisting, fighting this primal life force, we are aware of how it can help our world awaken from the nightmare that is destroying all that is sacred and natural.

Here in this space of real transformation life can return to its roots in the sacred and be reborn. Later, the forms of the future will come into being, but this is not the present stage of our global journey. Human consciousness can still be a mediator between the worlds. We can listen to our deeper wisdom that knows these cycles of life and death, and stay true to the love that is like a thread that we can follow. Chaos will test us, whether we cling to our surface possessions or learn to travel light, with a small bundle of love and care and compassion. Generosity may be more valuable than stockpiling food, kindness to others
