Reality is more complicated than we can believe.
Everywhere we look, something seems to be shifting. On the surface, it feels chaotic — every time we turn on the news, we see stories that make us doubt reality. Things sound stranger than fiction. We see what looks like the start of revolutions, wars, governments unraveling. It feels like everything is falling apart.
But when I look closer — inside my circle, inside my community — I see the duality more clearly. Alongside the chaos, I see compassion. I see people working on themselves, tending to their healing. I’m having conversations that would have sounded insane in the 90s, yet now they feel natural, even necessary.
One of the clearest signs of this turbulence is the division we’re living through. Polarization has deepened across countries and communities. Nationalism is rising in ways that feel both familiar and unsettling. People are pulled into extremes, convinced that only one side holds the truth.
It feels surreal — like watching a script unfold that we once thought belonged only to dystopian novels or movies. And yet, here we are, living inside it.
COVID was another turning point. A global pandemic that sounded like fiction suddenly became our reality. It exposed fragility in our systems, widened divisions, and forced us to confront mortality and uncertainty together.
At the same time, it awakened compassion. We saw neighbors helping neighbors, communities finding new ways to connect, people re‑evaluating what matters most. COVID became both a wound and a mirror — showing us the cracks, but also showing us the resilience.
Quantum physics talks about energy, interconnectedness, and the way observation itself changes reality. The discovery of the Higgs boson shifted how many scientists saw the universe — proof that invisible fields shape everything we know.
And then there are the synchronicities. They seem to be everywhere. People I’ve always felt were more connected are even more so now. Children I know are predicting things before they happen. My logical mind fights with my gut feelings, but the signs keep appearing.
Many ancient cultures spoke of times like this:
Across cultures, chaos is never random. It is always a sign of transition, a doorway into something new.
Astrologers speak of ages — long cycles shaped by the movement of the equinox through the zodiac. Many believe we are shifting from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, a time of collective vision, innovation, and higher consciousness.
And here’s where my logical mind stumbles. I can’t wrap my head around the absolute insanity of believing that the star configuration at the moment we were born could explain so much about us. And yet — I see truth in it. I see patterns that repeat, archetypes that resonate, energies that seem to align with what’s happening in the world.
Maybe astrology is less about prediction and more about language — a way of naming energies we already feel.
Acceleration brings paradox:
I still struggle to fully believe in these energies. My logical mind wants proof. Yet everywhere I look, I see signs. And maybe the truth is that both sides are real — the chaos and the compassion, the collapse and the renewal.
It feels to me like we are being invited into our own flight lessons — learning, strengthening our wings, and rising together in a time of great change.
And yet I wonder: Does it matter if all of this is literally true?
If choosing to see hope alongside the chaos helps us heal, helps us grow, helps us strengthen our wings — is that harmful? If believing in energies, synchronicities, or epoch shifts gives us courage to face the turbulence, maybe the truth lies less in the facts and more in the transformation they inspire.
Perhaps the real awakening is not about proving what is real, but about how we choose to live in the face of uncertainty. And if that choice leads us toward compassion, healing, and renewal, then maybe the belief itself becomes part of the medicine.
Take a quiet moment and ask yourself: In the midst of division and chaos, what signs of compassion or awakening have I noticed in my own life?
Véronique is the founder and creator of Sanctuary of Wings, a space born from her search for peace after years of chaos. In 2023, her daughter’s diagnosis with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma reshaped her life. Through that journey she discovered the power of calm — lessons she continues to integrate into her own path. Two years later, caring for birds who had endured hardship yet slowly learned to fly became another living metaphor for renewal, reminding her that healing is a shared process of learning to spread our wings again.
Sanctuary of Wings is her dream, but not a finished destination — it is a journey she is still on, and one she hopes to share with others. Through journals, podcasts, and creative tools, Véronique opens space for collective reflection, where each person can bring their own experiences and together discover new ways of finding balance.
Her invitation is simple: to join her in seeking peace. Whether through daily rituals, creative expression, or shared conversation, Sanctuary of Wings is a place where we guide each other, gently and at our own pace.
