Dimension Zero: A New Year's Reboot

As the calendar turns, we griefwalkers may feel suspended between what was and what will be, with our inner world flickering through multiple states at once.

In my book, The Lost Traveler's Field Guide www.LostTraveler.org, I call this beginning-space "Dimension Zero", a boundless void “brimming with potential,” where new meaning can emerge even when everything feels shattered.

So let the new year be a threshold, not a verdict.

We do not have to force clarity. We can practice a quieter power: gently observing what rises without judgment, letting each feeling take a shape we can recognize.

With this kind of attention, we can begin to crystallize coherence from confusion.

Carry this line from my book into the year like a small compass you can touch in your pocket: “Love is the frequency. Trust is the energy that is the source of that frequency. Trust the process. Trust yourSelf.”

And when time behaves strangely (and it will), when minutes drag and weeks vanish, remember "the loom." We are not merely passive observers of our journey, we are weavers, choosing threads that will become the tapestry of what comes next.

The past remains, the present can be anchored in a single breath, the future can still be shaped by the Love continuing to guide us.

Resilience is not denial, it is integration. It is learning to hold both the pain of absence and the Love that remains, metabolizing them into greater wholeness, one honest day at a time.

If you need something simple for January’s first steps, borrow directly from the chapter "Dimension Zero":

 - Sit quietly and journal when emotions surface.

 - Let comfort be allowed: books, music, familiar voices.

 - Speak with someone who can listen without judgment.

 - Spend time in nature, collect a stone, tend a garden, bring a living thing indoors as proof that beauty and Life still circulate.

-Ask for help with practical tasks, let support be a form of Love made visible.

May 2026 meet us with gentleness. May it give us room to be exactly as we are, and still become who we are becoming. -HCA
