The New Not Normal

Humans thrive on a sense of, "normal."

It might be different for each individual, but it's consistent as a concept. 

What is truly unsettling right now isn't necessarily a specific economic or health fear.

It's all of the above- unknown.

It's that, "normal" has been so rattled. 

It has not yet been replaced with anything. 

Living in a state of limbo, where even experts disagree with one another.

Where people at the top are fighting against one another, instead of FOR us.

Where it's unclear who, and what to believe. 

Where we're pretending to be a cohesive, giving society,

But the allure of angry politics and blaming and naming is still untouchable. 

It's time to find a temporary normal. 

To face, head-on the things that are the scariest. 

Even if the light at the end of the tunnel is a flicker, and really might just be an optical illusion.

Time to allow normal to be one foot in front of the other.

To sink into that.

To be present now, here; not then, or when. 

To let faith be king. 

To just be. 

To be given the chance to feel ok with Not Normal.

Love,
