Rebirth Through Crisis
Updated: Jan 27, 2023
When something catastrophic happens
our connection to our soul cracks open.
Within the experience of breaking,
we shatter our previous constructs.
Pained and confused we often mistaken our grief
as an indication that we have lost something essential
instead of understanding the initiation to reorganize anew.
Disarmed and emptied,
we can see beyond the believed dream
and perceive pure potentiality
amidst the chaos.
While it is true that we will never be the same,
our Spirit invites us
to seek the treasures
within the inner shards,
fragmented pieces
and the pain points.
As we examine the pieces and manifest de novo,
we begin to intuitively assemble new possibilities through reality shifting epiphanies.
If we can only value what we previously revered,
we will miss the treasures waiting to be honored and explored,
only to be discovered when we are broken open and fall apart.

Your piece struck a chord with me because I’ve lived through a similar rebirth after a personal crisis. In 2020 my small graphic‑design business teetered on the brink when a major client pulled out, and the financial pressure felt like a tidal wave. I spent sleepless nights questioning whether to quit or keep fighting. One evening, while sorting through old sketchbooks, I realized I had been ignoring the ideas that first inspired me. The Pokies I stripped back to the basics, offering simple, hand‑drawn illustrations to local cafés instead of chasing big corporate contracts. Slowly, word of mouth grew, and within a year I had a steadier client base than before, plus a renewed love for the craft itself https://www.smh.com.au/…
