Unexpected twists in life – the ones that feel like chaos served cold (the state of your country or community, work, personal, etc) – may feel exhausting or exasperating, BUT these times are also times to grow.

Cut to the San Pedro cactus. It often blooms at night, partly to conserve energy (little water + blaring daylight = half-ass blooms). I’ve latched on to this idea lately: of needing to bloom in the dark. Of conserving energy, targeting only what you need that serves you being your best self, and reign in energy being spent with no returns. Twisty times can be perfect times to lay low, regroup, and conserve energy for your next big blossom.
