Dismantling such deeply entrenched paradigms can feel like dying, especially when alternative frameworks are not readily available. But it's the challenge of having to create new working models of being and living which helps us expand beyond the confines of ourselves.

The process of growing into a new self can feel very uncomfortable, irritating, even confining ~ especially if we still find ourselves encased in an old structure. The more we want to move forward and stretch out, the tighter the walls of the past seem to become, pulling us in. But as we continue to transform and grow in strength, we move beyond the limits imposed on us (be it from inside or outside of ourselves).

​

We live in a time of great personal, social and environmental change ~ a bifurcation point in history, culture and consciousness ~ and we have a choice. We can choose to remain the same, or we can respond to the changes we face, rebuild ourselves, and move beyond the old system.
