When speaking of a person having 20/20 vision it usually refers to the clarity or sharpness of their vision. Given that description, I began to ponder about what the year 2020 brought to the world and if perhaps the Universe was delivering a clear and concise message about opening our eyes to the changes it brought to the world.
I know it is a stretch, but think of it this way – the changes that arrived in the year 2020 were profound. It brought a whole new order of things which have now become the new norm. There was a lot of scurry in the world up to when the year 2020 arrived. And this hurried and harried pace was world-wide. The push and pull of the world’s leaders; the generational climb of the proverbial ladder; the explorations of the youngest of our society – had us all ‘driving under the influence’. When the page turned to January 2020, the rhythm began to change, and by March most of us were dumbfounded by the velocity of the changes at hand.
But were these profound changes so bad? I mean, as a result of the changes family time became much more focused, and our concerns and caring for those alone or less fortunate have become a first thought instead of a fleeting thought. Personally, I like the changes to brought. While, I did not like having to be away from my children and my siblings; I felt like it was more like a forced exile. But globally speaking I believe the re-order brought about a lot of positive vibrations by which we all would learn and grow.
I know the year 2020 was a one-two punch. However, if we set aside our natural inclination to resist change, I believe magical stirrings will continue for us all.
