When the Brightest Light Reveals the Deepest Shadows ~ Solstice Musings
Today, on the brightest day of the year, I feel the deepest shadow.
Not because something is wrong, but because this world, as it's being sold to us, feels so far from what I know in my bones to be true. I’m tired. Uninspired. Hollowed out by systems built on separation, manipulation, and the illusion of progress.
I find myself grieving a community I’ve never even met. A heart-centered, earth-honoring community that I have yet to find in this lifetime...but I can feel it pulsing through me like a memory just beneath the surface.
When the external world doesn't reflect our inner frequency, the body feels it. The fatigue. The dullness. The ache. It isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a mismatch of resonant states. I’ve been finding it difficult to stay anchored in heart coherence when the environment consistently mirrors something so deeply misaligned on a soul level. The nervous system knows. The body bears the weight of that misalignment.
This isn’t about mood. It’s about soul-level dissonance.
The absence of true coherent resonance is what hurts now. The absence of real connection, shared vision, and a sense of belonging to something meaningful. And I know I’m not the only one feeling it.
Historically, my lowest points have carved the clearest paths. And maybe this Solstice, with all its light, is showing me what I can no longer pretend to accept. Maybe it’s revealing what must be released, so something more true can finally begin.
Something has to shift. And it will. I can feel it.
Even in the ache, I can feel the stirrings of what’s next.
And I choose to trust that what’s coming is worth holding space for.
And maybe, just maybe, this ache is proof that we’re getting closer.
That something more beautiful is already making its way in.
