Jotted down some reflections: Whilst the world is in limbo, and the collective psyche is adjusting to this new reality with our survival instincts alive and kicking, I cannot help but be reminded of a theory called the butterfly effect; that a mere flutter of a butterfly’s wings can cause the whirling of a tornado on the other side of the world - that small changes lead to large-scale effects. It is a reminder that you matter; that each one of your actions matter and influences others. Mother nature is forcing us to be in limbo; a place of uncertainty, lack of control, and of no change. Most of us are anxious, scared, and experiencing mixed feelings. It is forcing us to experience these same emotions that persons with mental health experience; the physically sick; caregivers with family members who are ill; asylum-seekers... This has reminded me of the following quote “When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate” Jung. We are forced to be empathic.
