As I grow older, there is a growing desire to connect my time with the time of the cosmos. I have a small personal tradition - for which family and friends tease me kindly - of celebrating my own 'New Year's Eve' on the night of 31 August. Because in September work and school starts again.
I need more! This piece also made me more aware of the connection between Christian festivals and the seasons.
As you write: “What logically follows [from the disconnection] is climate disasters, conspiracy theories, and fake news as there are not enough reality markers to anchor us to the greater truths that transcend individual will (sorry Nietzsche, you were wrong).” Thanks for that! I feel these words very much connected with what I read recently in the “Dialectic of Enlightenment”.
We are really invited to discover a different approach to reason, experience and knowledge to shift the systems where we live!
