Feeling.
When the time stones where broken we lost the pivot around which we evolved and it sent us to a new level of transformation we are experiencing as we speak. We are lost and out of balance, not knowing when or where we will arrive. Life and the earth will be fine, but we don't know where we stand as mankind. There is no ordering center except money, and it is just a spell (a bad one).
Unfairly we seem to have to face relentless hardship that has nothing to do with our actions. We are putting up with the mess created by others and we cannot account them for it. We can only push ourselves to a new level of strength and prowess that we didn't sign up for, but we must take if we are to make it. The strong ones trying to push the light of peace through the smoke of war, have to do so against their own feelings, which can be at times overwhelming.
Today's nawal asks us to see and feel this feeling, it cannot be described, it is so strong it's unbearable, there is no cry, word or act we can do to express it. The only thing we can do is try and not to be crushed by it, and so we learn to detach, to become someone else, so that we can keep pushing forward regardless of how we feel. This will be the challenge today and tomorrow, having a normal sunny, warm and loving day and yet feel the cold of a winter that is not over, of a process that is not done, of a war that is ongoing, of a goal that is yet not achieved, of a home we are still to arrive to.
Our senses and ways of judgment and morality must be displaced, moved and put on hold. Nothing can be judged from the old, nor the new, as we are in such a transformative, unknown process. The strong ones will be judged for seeming insensitive, but it's quite the contrary, and is the heart of the message of today's nawal. When a warrior faces the challenges, he/she must enter a state where he/she will be able to perform without being drowned by his/her feelings. It doesn't mean he/she has none or doesn't feel, it means that he/she feels so much, that he/she is doing something about it, and that requires not being drowned by the feeling. We don't know if our action is the right one, or if it will have the effect we desire, what we know is that acting is better than not acting. Doing something about it is better than not. May your feeling fuel your actions and not drown you into shock. Rain is coming, and the sun too.
Today invites us to act from feeling. Many times we have the wisdom to let a feeling pass so that we can act from reason, to avoid acting desperately or from poor judgment. The nawal marks this difference and turning point where, yes—at certain times, like today—it is good and necessary to act from feeling and from a state that apparently is not the best, but is the right moment. It is the necessary action to save things. Many times our best actions are carried out not in moments when we feel well and inspired, but in the key moment to act, and often in those moments we find ourselves not in our best state of mind.
