15-21 february ◆ adaptable forms

One of the few constant variables over the last year is that we have no idea what surprises lie around the corner for us. Part of the fatigue we are slowly plodding through is that we are unsure about how to handle any new surprises, as whatever patched together systems and adequate habits we had in place are quickly becoming obsolete. If we are regularly in a state of upheaval, why try to regulate or codify… anything? Sometimes it feels like the small tasks are all that keep us sane. In some ways, it is tough to know how this week will play out for everyone. It will involve the strained relationship we all have to what is necessary and what is volatile, but the various manifestations this could take are almost numberless. Consider what managed to remain unchanged in everyday life during 2020. One of these pieces likely saw some surprises, new freedoms, or struggles that have been developing in the last two months. It could be ourselves, operating from a place of fear or scarcity, who have become too rigid and unwilling to bend and lean with the current. Reflect on what is stuck and ask how we are contributing to disruption? What necessities or requirements have we internalized as “just the way things are now,” and can we renegotiate them? What can we actually control, and can we give changes we are trying to manifest a flexible, adaptable form?
The start of the week continues to pull us taut as tensions build under the surface. We will be stimulated. Suppose we can focus the energy generated right now to progress toward a goal. We might call winning at the moment. If we are frazzled, fried, or otherwise overwhelmed, try to find ways to ease into this week and back off when it’s too much. There is probably not much comfort in the first days of the week, but we should find some relief as things unfold.
The middle of the week brings the reveal. It could feel like a culmination or a peak of intensity from something that made itself known in December 2020, but the matters at hand are only starting to open up and fully present themselves. We might already have had this encounter recently, or we may not have it for another week, but this is something that we will be laboring with through the rest of 2021. The urge to merge may arise now as we set off the last leg of the journey to Spring. This next 30 days is the incubation period, so watch for what is in the process of coalescing and what you want to encourage to grow.
As the weekend materializes, Friction Friday will spark some activity. A quarrel that comes up now might be cooled down through some sensuality. If that doesn’t ameliorate the trouble, some old fashioned talking is in order. It may have been a miscommunication that felt personal that began the whole thing anyway. We will all likely be a little more lucid or at least fluent in expressing ourselves after this week.
