The prayers yesterday morning were — for the first time in nearly a month — less focused on the current affairs in my household and truly reverted back to being about the rest of humanity.
We have had a challenging month following the diffcult birth of my daughter's first child, which resulted in three weeks in a NICU before mother and son could finally come home.
It has been a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be to focus on the "fires" around the world when it feels like your own house is "on fire." For most of us, there is only so much to go around.
Regardless, this 5/5 Gateway (May 5th) invites us to pause at this powerful intersection of vision, tenderness, strength, and honesty.
On this fifth day of the fifth month, we’re reminded that true progress comes not from force or illusion, but from the courage to see clearly, feel deeply, and act with integrity. This is a moment to open our inner sight; to imagine a future that exceeds our current expectations, to make it one built not only on hope but on intentional clarity and compassion.
We may have become a bit blinded by our own interpretation of everyone's reality, and thus we are in danger of losing our way. This is what the darkness revels in. Let's keep the darkness where it belongs, in our rear-view mirror.
As we step through this symbolic threshold, we’re called to balance the soft and the strong: to honor our sensitivity without losing our resolve, to speak truth without harshness, to dream boldly without denying reality.
The 5/5 energy whispers that the future is not fixed; it’s fluid, responsive, and waiting to be shaped by those willing to look ahead with both heart and wisdom.
May what lies ahead surprise us — in all the best ways — and may the outcomes we are visualizing be better than expected!
And so it is.
Thanks for taking a moment to read and reflect on these words, and Bright Blessings to you all!
