The weather is changing.
Historical structures are crashing and burning.
Nothing appears to be as it was.
What lies beneath this apparent madness?
For many of us - there is a tendency to try and "figure it out.” Many of us - myself included - try to find meaning in the symbolism of it all. Because, after all, what is life except a string of symbols? What are words except essentially meaningless sounds that we have strung together and agreed upon a meaning for? We live in a world of archetypes and myth that we have created over time. So why wouldn't we try to piece the meanings together in the same way?
But do we really want to know?
Our spirit, or our higher self, or God, is aware of what it all means. Deep inside, there is a part of us that has the bigger picture. However, we are here in this space at this time because we have volunteered to move forward as if we don't know what is going on. We put our own blinders on when we signed up for this a long time ago. We didn't want to be told all the answers right away.
So while it is fun to try and "figure it all out," maybe part of the reason behind it is so we can learn to let the mystery be.
I've always enjoyed listening to music where the vocalist is singing in a language that I don't understand. Even if they are saying the most boring and mundane things, I don't care. It is made so much more beautiful to me for the fact that I have no freaking clue what they're talking about.
This life is much the same. If we were shown all the cheat codes, what would be the point of playing the game? How about just kicking back and enjoying the music for a bit? How about letting ourselves be amazed and surprised by the magic of what unfolds?
