While on the beach my mind was drifting...
This has been few hectic weeks, between everyone getting sick, keeping on working from home at the same time, juggle with home-school, we might have discarded any physical activities for the kids and just didn't go out much.
I know I have been called an hermit a few times, and pandemic retrenched us even more, so while had some important meetings in video conference, I thought it would be better to just go somewhere with the kids, see the outside world a bit.
Not so far from home, there is a lake beach that I don't normally like to go to. Don't misunderstand me, I like people, but I like a small amount of them.
When a place is crowded, I tend to withdraw myself a little bit, just a survival instinct that kicks in, I am not the shy type, it's just that I don't trust a big group of people 😁.
The beach today, was completely empty, probably the best time to chill, grab a ball, and some apples.
The water level is normally much higher, at the time of the year there isn't as much rain, it also means you can go further down to find some cool stuffs.
My son went to adventure himself, while I stayed on the fine sand with the girls, still not a single soul to bother us.
I wasn't even planning on making a post today, I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I do something, and my mind straight up switches into "work mode", I think "oh that would be an awesome post", and you stop appreciating the moment, you are already editing the post in your head, finding angles, a narrative, etc...
Sometimes it embellishes the experience, but sometimes it doesn't, and it's so important to let it go. That's actually why in the last 2 weeks, I also stopped maintaining a rigorous posting schedule and try to be a bit more lose, and it also feel good not to overthink it, just enjoy whatever comes out of it.
I hope when the kids are full grown ups, hive is still around and they can go check posts about us going to the lake, at the farm, them becoming awesome human beings, I also hope they don't have difficult questions about the decision we made during these hard times, I know that some of us on this platform are very aligned regarding education, but the world out there, is a fucking hard place to be in 2021.
Protect your kids at all cost, today's society is proving us everyday how people stopped using critical thinking, how it's so easy to comply, to how it's comforting to belong to the majority of people, and I am just talking about youknowwhat, but everything else that encompasses what it means to have a human experience, I think we are drifting away from what made us special, our connectivity between one another is slowly fading.
Being a kid, was never about anything else but these simple moments in life like the one above and below, and when you cut humanity away from it's childhood, when you take away the very essence of life, the touch, the smell, the kisses, the hugs, the fights, the hurdles, you are left with a sanitized society, the Great Reset has been fulfilled, and we are just mindless drones. Don't laugh, you didn't pay enough attention on what was happening, and now it's too late.
So how do you make a home during the fall of an empire?
This is an interesting question, that I will keep open, this is a conversation I have very often with my good friends that are currently aware of the current global agenda, and I unfortunately don't have an answer for you.
For a very long time, I thought that I would find a safe haven, away from this upside-down world, but the last 2 years reminded us how this is a corporate pandemic, and there isn't a country today that hasn't been converted and reached with the same propaganda machine, so rest assured that you will always be found, and processed.
So now, I am at peace with where I am, what's important is to always stay alert, being able to see at least a year ahead, what is their next move on the chessboard.
This is maybe why self reliance is so important, because this crash might not be imminent, might take a few years to come. Every collapses of empires, always ended up the same way: Civil unrest, degradation of leadership, economic turmoil, hedonistic & self centred lifestyle of the masses, division of the classes, ruling of the oligarchy...
The Greek, Roman, Egyptian Empires, all ended with the same fate, so who is even reading the signs anymore?
But I digress... 😁
That was the thoughts running through my head during this walk
