Double illumination by Nara

The burn in the lampshade looks like an evil eye. It’s glaring at me. The candle flame next to it flickers, demanding attention. There’s need for double illumination tonight.

We’ve stopped seeing with our Third Eye. We’ve become disconnected from our gut instincts. We’ve forgotten our mycelium stretches across oceans, and continents, and is carried on desert winds. 

    We’ve forgotten.
                      We’ve forgotten.
                                       We’ve forgotten…

And what we need, is double illumination!

We need to light up those parts of our hearts that have become cold and cavernous—focusing on the “I” and “My” and “Lie.”

We need to re-awaken our childlike joy at simple things like bird songs and sunsets and the sweet scent of flowers on the breeze.

We need to lift our faces towards the sun instead of Amazon. Instead of greed. Instead of gas prices. We need to look at need.

And what we NEED is double illumination.

What the world needs is Peace. What the world needs is non-judgement. What the world needs is to feed its hungry and help its weak and house its destitute. 

If Covid taught us anything, it’s that the world is small, it’s interconnected and what happens to one, affects us all.

It’s not just our price at the pump; it Africa’s food supply chain, it’s astronaut’s rides home, it’s families. And lives. And children. It’s incredible courage that deserves to be acknowledged, and lauded, and duplicated.

What we need, is double illumination!

We each hold the world in the palm of our hands, if we’d just care to look. If our lights, and candles, and Third Eyes are bright.
It’s time to tap in, and log off, and witness the mycelium of Ukraine’s people. Of Bravery. Of courage. Of painful sacrifice.
And allow that strength to migrate our way—across oceans, and continents, and winds.
And then, SEEN, we send it back!

Because to me, what we need, IS double illumination.
