Hi Ann,
I am just trying to put what we are all living through into a bigger paradigm. I sincerely believe that we - as modern humans - are operating in a detached and mostly disjointed worldview. In cities we are living with 5 or 10 million people we don't know. In high rise living we are literally sharing a roof with people we don't know and don't want to know.... so what bonds/binds us as people with a shared identity?
You live in a much calmer environment where you have not become divorced from cycles of nature. When you live close to and dependent on the goodwill of nature, people stay in touch more with the sense of being quite small in the bigger scheme of things and subconsciously are aware that this environment will go on long after we have shuffled off the mortal coil - that mountain will still be there, this river will still flow ... you get my drift.
People are experiencing a shift in 'frequencies' which is hard to articulate. We (in the West generally) are taught time is linear - yesterday is gone and inexorably replaced by a brief today and tomorrow. What this linear thinking does is make us worry about death. Life becomes a 'race against time'. Because many of us with an education and working brain have rebuffed the narrow confines of simplistic religiosity (and that is a GOOD thing) - it tends to leave a void of sorts for understanding our tiny but magnificent attempt to do some good in the world and even a legacy.
So I think we are blessed to have a sense that although humans die, our essence continues to exist in another realm. That is why your work is SO important because it genuinely transcends that perspective of time. Enough of my musings, thanks for indulging me.
Best wishes,
Lena
