As the ground beneath our feet seems to slip away in the US and the world, it can feel hard to find our place. Political and social storms seem unrelenting, and it’s easy to feel swept up in the whirlwind of disruption. But what if, instead of fighting the storm, we could bring light into it?
I recently had a dream that showed me the power of spinning light within the storm. This vision reminded me that, in times of chaos, we each have the ability to hold a vision of something brighter—something more powerful than the darkness around us. Life like dreams, will often whisper messages to us in symbols and metaphors. Here are the symbols that appeared in my dream and their relation to real life.
The Storm:
The storm represents the tensions, divides, and uncertainties we face today. It feels overwhelming, but like all storms, it won’t last forever. How we respond during the storm makes all the difference.
The Light:
The light is the part of you that remains unaffected by chaos. It’s your creativity, peace, and love. Even small acts of kindness and positivity can ripple outward, touching others and spreading light in dark times.
The Action:
The key is to spin light into the storm—not by ignoring the chaos, but by bringing your inner light right into it. Whether through creativity, love, or simple acts of kindness, your light can make a difference.
Creative Prompt:
Art like dreams also uses visual symbols and metaphors. I invite you to invoke your creative magic and not runaway from storms, but transform them with your imagination. Create an image:
Using the symbols above, how will you spin your unique light into the storm? Can you create a transformative image for this and send it out into the collective unconscious to give yourself and/or others strength? The world needs people who are willing to stand firm in their truth and share their unique vision. By holding our light in the storm, we create space for others to do the same. Storms are destructive, but artist's are creative! Use your power! ______________________________
