[Crisis & Awakening - III]
Teen anxiety is up. Depression is too. So are the numbers of suicide.
It’s like our (children’s) souls are protesting the pandemic by sacrificing their bodies on the alter of real health.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t buy into the soon-to-be-deleted Youtube video exposing “the truth”. And I don’t have an appetite for basement experts.
But I do hear the cries of the young, and at the center of their weeping is a petition for connection, for community, for the types of relationships needed to stay buoyant in the torrential sea of life.
A *revival* is fundamentally marked by a feeling of connectedness. Where there is renewal and revelation, there too is a deep sense of connection with others bearing the weight of this world together.
Isolation is darkness. Connection is light.
