Nothing new can be born if we keep holding on to what has already ended.
The energies of this day remind us that healing requires transformation. That for our new self to be born, we must dare to let go of what has completed its cycle, just like a snake shedding its skin to keep growing. Keb’ Kame inspires us to remember that if we do the same thing every day, our future will be nothing more than a repetition of our past.
This day invites us to walk mindfully, to leave the autopilot behind and to consciously choose how we want to live. Only then can we open ourselves to change, to a different future, and to a true rebirth.
Nada nuevo puede nacer si seguimos aferrados a lo que ya terminó.
Las energías de este día nos recuerdan que para sanar es necesario transformarnos. Que para que nazca nuestro nuevo ser, debemos atrevernos a soltar lo que ya cumplió su ciclo, como la serpiente que muda su piel para seguir creciendo. Keb’ Kame nos inspira a recordar que si cada día hacemos lo mismo, nuestro futuro no será más que una repetición de nuestro pasado.
Este día nos invita a caminar con presencia, a dejar el piloto automático y elegir de forma consciente cómo queremos vivir. Solo así podremos abrirnos al cambio, a un futuro diferente y a un verdadero renacer.
We are all but souls exploring an unexplored world, trying to understand an unexplained existence. During these paths of learning, our surroundings and those around us have gifted us with our values, a set of rules we would need to live by. “Be kind”, they said “be brave, and always try to be the best version of yourself.” These are beautiful teachings that, unfortunately, have caused much harm.
Grandmother Water has been present since the creation of our Mother Earth, giving form to the great oceans before the emergence of volcanoes and land. Within her, she carries the wisdom and story of our whole existence, and was a vital part of it. She was there when our creators were still sowing the world, she heard the first howls and chatters of the animals entrusted with caring for the Earth, and she witnessed the first seedlings sprout, eventually growing into immense millinery trees. She has cared for us, nurtured us, and filled this planet with magnificent sights all this time.
From the moment of our creation, our life has been shaped by the mycorrhizal pathways that connect us to each other, which nourish our very essence. In this Kawoq, we want to make a space for reflection, as we question: what is our community?
As the roots of rationality spread across the globe, feeding the human with knowledge and science, the light of the world dimmed a little. The human species became mechanical and robotic, losing a part of its essence. The hearth of the universe flows with magic, crackling in sparks of wonder and in melodies of beauty.
The power of Mother Earth expands beyond our gaze and immediate sight. In our paths, we might have walked among giant millenary trees, travelled across vast oceans painted in all shades of blue, or stopped to observe great canyons and mountains. While beautiful and powerful, those are just the surface level.
In the moment of our creation, as our eyes fluttered open and our pupils adjusted to the light, our soul saw a world anew. During our explorations, caressing the earth with every small step, everything seemed to be unknown yet so beautiful. A drop of water or a leaf pirouetting as it danced in the wind was magical. Slowly, as the earth became more and more familiar, we shut down our vision.
Mother Earth has been patiently waiting for our awakening.
