So much has transpired over the past months as the bush fires raged through the country. My mum’s town was evacuated and all surrounding towns were burnt out, we are grateful to the universe for keeping her safe and for the brave, selfless and tireless work of the fire-fighters. The power of human spirit collectively is really remarkable and if anything good can come from devastation and tragedy it is the reminder of our oneness. Last weekend, as the latest fires had just broken out in nearby ACT, I attended a workshop with the magical Gabby Bernstein. Two thousand beautiful souls were in attendance and through mediation we prayed for rain. As the workshop came to a close the heavens opened and the rain poured down. The following day my Mum sent me the following images. One photo was taken the day before the rain and the other taken just a few days after the rain. To me, this image provides hope as it’s a visual of the resilience of the land and nature as a whole. Nature is forgiving of past events and grows and evolves to be stronger than before. This, of course, does not mean we can use and abuse and there will be no end, everything has its level of tolerance. Nature provides us with lessons for our own lives when we take the time to watch, feel and reflect.
My hope is that you and your families are safe and well and feel immense hope for the future, not despite past events but because of them.
With hope, love & gratitude,
