Here are some predictions for 5778. I’m pretty confident they’ll come to pass.
5778 will be a year of…
radical love and radical hatred
profound peace and profound violence
deep connection and deep alienation
wisdom and folly
clarity and ambiguity
health and sickness
laughter and tears
life and death
progress and decline
momentum and inertia
understanding and ignorance
awakening and mindlessness
blossoming and annihilation
hope and despair
courage and fear
showing up and disappearing
abundance and scarcity
My confidence in these predictions is based on the fact that 5778 has already been all of these things and more. Often in the same moment. Every moment that this earth spins, so long as we’re here to dance on it, all of these phenomena exist simultaneously. It’s all happening now. And now again. To assert anything otherwise is to deny and ignore the complexity, richness, and infinite potential of the present moment. It’s all happening now. And I feel that its our task to cultivate within ourselves a witness to it all. To lift up that which we feel needs to be lifted up and to lovingly discard that which we think is hurtful to us, all humanity, and earth.
