As the brutal war in Ukraine adds to the already daunting array of worldwide crises, events don’t just feel out of our control, but beyond anyone’s control. Increasingly, we are caught in the shattering of the world and the broken heart of tragedy.

The great crises of the world do not take place outside the soul. Collective fears and anxieties precipitate a psychological and spiritual crisis in which we either find a greater sense of self or else become more fearful and despairing.

Soul is most lacking in the world, yet soul awakens in the midst of conflict and crisis. Even as everything breaks down soul knows where to reconnect to life. Soul connects our inner nature to the renewing energy of great Nature and soul is the true source of resiliency in each of us.

Being soulfully present in our lives settles the psyche and helps us cope with a troubled, unsettled world. What moves and heals and stirs the individual soul can also move and heal the world.
