Mexican Wave

Welcome to this week’s blog.

I once read the phrase: Grief is Love with nowhere to go…

Grief, at its core, is the deep emotional response to loss — not only to death, but to any shift, ending, or absence that touches us. It shows up in many forms and doesn’t always look the way we expect.

Unrecognised or unresolved grief can express itself through anger, confusion, numbness, exhaustion, or even a lack of willpower. But how do we know if what’s really ailing us is grief, if there are no obvious signs or recent events to connect it to? Especially if, on the surface, it looks like we have nothing to grieve for — or nothing we would name as grief anyway.

Society tends to box grief into one category: the passing of a loved one. Anything else — the smaller traumas, the quiet heartbreaks, the subtle but real losses — often doesn’t get the space to breathe.

And this brings me to the theme of this week’s blog. Whether you’ve noticed it or not, I believe there are two great Mexican Waves sweeping across the planet. One of them is loud and undeniable, already in full deployment. The other is quieter, more personal — and it’s this second wave I want to speak about.

I’m seeing a rising wave of unspoken grief. It’s not always easy to recognise, because you often have to sift through layers of anger, loneliness, obstruction, or confusion to reach it. But it’s there. It’s the grief that comes from enormous change, within ourselves and in the world, over these past five years. And I think most people would agree — there’s no going back to what was, for better or worse.

So yes, grief. For a life, for a world, for a dream. For the animals. For the children. For humanity. And for ourselves. It deserves breathing room, even for just a moment. Timelines have shifted. People are not who they were. And neither are we.

It’s okay to let go.

Recognising that a massive shift is underway, we know it won’t always be pretty. But it can also feel liberating, exhilarating, and powerful — especially as we begin to realise what we are capable of when push comes to shove.

I’ve witnessed glimpses of this in ceremony circles — with cacao, drumming, meditation, and healing. People allowing grief and gratitude to flow side by side. It’s raw, and it’s liberating.

Like a rose with thorns, we can hold both truths: releasing grief for what no longer is, while staying grateful for what still shines in us and in the world. That balance may be one of the most important things to hold onto through this Mexican wave of change.

Find a ceremony, a person, a mentor, a guide, or your place in nature. Give your grief a voice. Let your Love have somewhere to go.

Peace be with you.
