This is a beautiful encapsulation of where we are in this moment out in the world and as always in our inner experience too. Thank you Ayala

Thank you Sam - it helps to remember this isn't anything new! And... it also helps me to remember this is indeed an interregnum - and that the new WILL be born at some point. When giving birth, transition feels utterly groundless - yet at the same time, birth is inevitable. It's slowed by reactivity and facilitated by steadiness, courage and love. I feel those same qualities apply to the birthing cycles of the world too.

May I ask who the artist is please, of this beautiful birthing the world image

Ayala Gill's avatar

I have been trying to locate the artist myself for a while. I found the image on a website called Great Transition Stories https://greattransitionstories.org/patterns-of-change/birthing/ but they don't list the artist there sadly. I've also found similar images elsewhere on the internet. If you manage to locate the artist please let me know so I can credit them! Thank you 🙏🏼
