know they need no other force.
~lao tzu
those who flow as life flows
you know that feeling—
like you were meant for more,
but something keeps you tethered.
you long to fly across the open waters—
but you fight the very current meant to carry you,
and resist the wind that might lead to a storm
you know how to weather.
you crave a life that exhilarates you—
the wind in your hair, dolphins racing by your side—
but the far-off horizon that calls you
paralyzes you.
you know those stars
better
than the back of your hand—
but you stay on terra firma
still not trusting yourself to navigate at night.
transformation isn’t forcing change—
it’s owning who you are.
​you don’t need to cut old anchors loose
or unfurl sails spun from outdated stories.
you sure as hell don’t need the tide to turn.
what you need is to
ditch the boat.
​
​
you are the tide, love.
and the majestic moon that pulls it.
you are the wind—
and the savage storm that rides it.
you are the endless horizon—
and the song that calls you home.
but the tide does not hurry to reach the shore anymore than the leaves rush to yellow and fall off the tree—
life flowing, unfolds in its own time.
maybe, another year of terra firma is life unfolding as it should—
and "willing" the dawn to arrive is how you miss the sunset.
​​
maybe you still don't trust yourself
because it's not just the stars you need to know.​​
​​​
​
after all, you were never just a drop in the ocean.
​
science is beginning to echo what mystics have whispered for centuries: ​
​
this is a holographic universe—
you are the ocean,
contained within a single drop.
​​
​
maybe it's time you stopped fighting it.
​
ready to be all that you are?
sara f; gomes is a systems thinker, writer and teacher whose work is shaped by a single question:
how might we design societies that support human flourishing?
rather than offer one-size-fits-all formulas, sara helps people explore the hidden architecture of human behaviour obscured by the dominant “self-help” narratives—inviting readers to take part in the worlds they inhabit guided by their inner compass because because
a humanity that builds better systems begins with individuals who have reclaimed their inner authority.
drawing on a background spans the sciences, symbolic traditions, and lived inquiry, sara helps individuals see themselves—and their lives—with new clarity.
through a blend of psychological insight, spiritual literacy, and grounded practice, members are guided to trust the intelligence of their own system—
and transform their experience of life's trials from burden, to privilege.
curious about sara's journey from physics major to bicycle nomad to unlikely mystic?
because it would be a shame to scare you off unnecessarily
and between "dark moon magic"
(which, no mum—i'm not changing so people don't "get the wrong idea")
​
and calling myself a new school "witch"...
(in honour of the highly respected wise woman origins of true witches)
well.
​
let me just clarify—you'll find:
NO "voodoo"
NO “black magic” and
NO "worship" (devil, lunar, or otherwise) on these shores, darlin’.
