a continuation

soft usher in.

For anyone who may feel a little tender today, I wanted to extend an offering as we usher in 2026:

Time is a concept. A social construct. Once we untether ourselves from this, the unfolding of our lives becomes less constrained. We rush not to become, but rather loosen our grips on the reins and steady ourselves in the ebb and flow. Today doesn’t have to be an ending, but maybe rather a continuation. There’s no pressure for a vast modification of yourself or your life. Be devoted to your existence, as is. Because every season of you is part of the blueprint of your being.

ẹniafẹ isis’ words so carefully encapsulates the depths of this: “There is no ‘end’. Time is a perpetual continuum. Like water, time is fluid and so it only flows. Maybe not always in the same direction, at the same speed, veracity or temperature but it is ongoing. Even when we, in these present vessels or bodies may cease, and even this, ceasing, is up for debate. The end of the year is anything but THE END. Time doesn’t stop. There is no judgement of our goals, ‘accomplishments’ or accomplishments still in progress, other than the judgements and pressures we, and these constructed societies we live in set upon us. Time continues. With us, and beyond us. What a miracle. What a challenge. What a blessing. What a lesson…”
