Have you noticed the increased multiplication of events? If I were a mathematician, I maybe would have other language to describe what I am seeing. Life offered me multiple surprises with two moves within 18 months. These moves demanded that I pack up and respond to changes that my Being and the environment required. My moves weren’t dreamed in…as in a choice; they were a mixture of call and response, my inner vision and landlords’ renovation plans. My instinctive wish for a change of place…that was my higher sense…yet on a ground level, I would have stayed in my comfort zone for quite a while. Practically, saying “let’s do it” took time, as I grappled with the implications of uprooting my life and resettling.

This new cycle of change took focused attention to the various parts of my personal world. I was running three small businesses while continuing my artistic practice and healing from a devastatingly painful two-bone wrist break. Each responsibility added layers of complexity to my life. It demanded my energy and flexibility. This left little room for the disturbances that moving would bring. The act of relocating felt monumental, a massive shift that stirred a whirlwind of emotions, practical considerations, and logistical challenges.

Now, each of us is going through different experiences. The areas of life where we wish to claim wholeness call us to seek balance. We find ourselves standing at a crossroads of choice and consequence. Perhaps some of us are in our natural habitat in a whirlwind landscape. Whirlwind landscapes are all around us—weather storms, firestorms, heat waves…you know, you are here too, watching, participating, or trying to avoid looking. These landscapes can feel overwhelming; they demand our attention and challenge our sense of stability.

Riding the waves of change is all about embracing opportunities and adapting with confidence. Doing our best to the forces around us, anticipate shifts, and respond with agility, transforming challenges into advantages while not being afraid to fall into deep waters.

Amid this chaos, it is essential to carve out a sense of peace and grounding. We can learn from the tumultuous waves of change and engage with them actively rather than passively resisting them. Each experience, whether welcome or jarring, holds the potential for growth and understanding. They prompt us to reassess our priorities. They encourage us to embrace new perspectives. Ultimately, they lead us toward a more profound sense of wholeness.

MoonWaves 2025 is my creative process dedicated to supporting and empowering wave riding.

This week heralds the Human Design Rave New Year, and we find ourselves in the powerful 41st Gate, or 41st Hexagram of the I Ching. This significant gate is anchored in the Root Chakra, and it’s from this foundational energy that we will launch this month’s MoonWaves—starting boldly at the root.
