We sense that ‘normal’ isn’t coming back, that we are being born into a new normal: a new kind of society, a new relationship to the earth, a new experience of being human.

Charles Eisenstein
About This Quote

The world is going through a transitional phase in which we are being born into a new normal. “Normal� is no longer an option, but a requirement. We have to change how we live and what we do because the old ways of living and doing things are no longer sustainable. We have to learn from our mistakes, but also from our successes.
