Hi friends,

This week I saw the Jeff Buckley documentary IT'S NEVER OVER. I've been a fan of his music ever since I discovered Grace as a teenager, but I didn't know much about his life. Early on the in the film he says in an interview: "Every human being has music that only they can make."

That line has been swirling around in my head since. And it doesn't just apply to music — it applies to any talent, story, or gift that only you can bring into the world. If you don't share it, no one else can.

I've always believed this. I love humans and the art they share. To me, just the simple act of sharing is impressive, regardless of the quality. In a society where sameness is often valued, I find myself in awe of the individual more and more.

All of this get me thinking about the global shift we're moving toward in 2027 according to Human Design. For the last 400 years or so, humanity has been under the Cross of Planning — a theme centered on societal structures, relying on the collective, and building systems for survival. But soon we'll move into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix — a theme of personal rebirth and collective awakening, where the focus shifts toward individual empowerment and self-reliance.

We're already feeling this. The cracks in our institutions are becoming harder to ignore. Some might see this a negative thing, but I believe it is an invitation: by empowering individuals, we make room for more variety, more originality. More of the music only you can make. Every act of true self-expression strengthens the collective, because individuality is what fuels our next era of growth.

Reflection Prompts

The best way to prepare for this shift is living authentically in the now — the more aligned you are with your inner authority the easier the transition will be.

• What is the art that only I can make?
• Where am I still hiding parts of myself that want to be expressed?
• How can I act in alignment with what feels right for me right now?

Recs

• Jeff Buckley's Grace is, in my opinion, one of the best albums ever released. If you're interested in upgrading to a vinyl copy, you can find that here.

I'd love to hear about the music only you make, or the stories that only live inside your head. What art do you have in you? Let me know.

xo,
Christen
