Dec. 26 “The Power of Presence”

There’s a strange ambivalence about expressing any affection this time of year—we’re reminded that real detachment doesn’t mean shutting down or floating away but being fully engaged without letting the madness and chaos pull us under.

In spite of it all, there’s a stark honesty in savouring the warmth and festivities, recognising that any of it can slip through our fingers at a moment’s notice. In fact, some individuals may have already transitioned, having opted out of sentiment altogether. Such an unbiased perspective changes how you show up: you’re involved, but less tense, less tethered to everyone else’s emotional swells and demands. It’s a liberating blend of presence and maintaining personal space. The usual noise and tribal clamouring feels oddly distant. You remain open, yet no longer ensnared by its sentimental entanglements, and herein lies your power during a season that typically overwhelms so many by the sheer force of its emotional control.

Here’s a short excerpt from our latest episode of Cosmic Bus:

Merry Christmas to my ever-loyal tribe. Even a sober-sided taskmaster like myself can appreciate the profound hope this season brings. May your path be lit with unwavering clarity, your hearts awakened to life’s hidden truths, and your eyes sharp to snuff out all the nonsense during 2025. The latest round of horoscopes, guiding us to Sunday’s New Moon (and beyond), is now live—check them out here…
