When Two Paths Become One

Dear wild-hearted wanderer,

Before I dive in, take a breath with me.
Feel your feet on the ground.
Let yourself arrive here, wherever “here” is for you today.

So often, we consume mindlessly. And I’m the first to admit to it. Sometimes I don’t even know why I open certain apps. There’s a need I try to fill but more often than not that need does not get filled through more consumption. Rather, it gets filled through slowing down, placing my bare feet on grass and taking a deep slow breath.

And if this is what you need instead of reading this letter, embrace it.

For a long time, I’ve felt like I’ve been walking two paths: one grounded in research, politics, identity, and real-world complexity (what’s manifested in The Mechanical World), and one more personal, soul-nourishing, body-led (what’s been The Untrodden Path).

There was a time my mind insisted on keeping them apart. Maybe I thought the world wouldn’t take me seriously unless I compartmentalised. Maybe I feared one would dilute the other. I felt this need to make one more “serious,” the other more “soft.” But the truth? They were always two sides of the same remembering.

Both ask the same thing of me—and of those who find themselves here:

To trust your knowing.
To question what’s been conditioned into you.
To come back to yourself, even when the world pulls you away.

As the Sun and Earth are right now transiting Gate 42 and Gate 32, an inner reshift is happening. Our Sun is currently holding the wisdom of endings, and our Earth is rooting us into the instinctual to preserve what truly matters.

My own Personality Moon is in gate 42, the Moon being our conscious driver in Human Design. It’s our focal point. And mine is cyclical growth and maturation. I move in cycles and I see things through to their natural conclusions. Since it’s activated in the 2nd line, I often like to invite you into that process. But I also like to share that journey with you.

I feel like Threads has become that playground for me lately where I allow myself to experiment, stretch my comfort zone, and learn through expressing my thoughts and ideas as and when they emerge.

I’ve been feeling this deep shift in my bones lately. Not as a dramatic or clear-cut ending, but as a quiet and gentle integration. A soft exhale. A recognition that some patterns in my life have served their purpose—and it’s time to honour them as I’m repatterning.

Gate 42 speaks to that full-circle moment. It teaches us that not all endings are loud. Some are quiet like the final exhale at the end of a long-held breath. A silent knowing. A moment that says: this cycle has given all it came to give; it’s time to stretch and grow.

But it’s not about rushing to the next thing, it’s about harvesting what’s been lived. Feeling the weight and the beauty of what’s been, before moving on.

Gate 32 reminds me that discernment is not scarcity—it’s devotion. A choosing of what’s truly aligned, not just familiar. It asks of us:

What still holds value?

What’s worth carrying forward?

What’s asking to endure, in a new way?

These gates are showing me that this chapter I’m in isn’t just an ending—it’s a choosing. A reclaiming. A gentle weaving of what was once scattered into something that finally feels whole. Not either/or. But all of it. A tapestry made up of all the different threads.

If it feels good, pause here and ask yourself:
What are you ready to release with reverence?
What still holds value, even as everything else shifts?

The more I trust the way my own cycles move—unrushed, non-linear, deeply felt—the more I realise how the trust within isn’t just something I offer. It’s something I live.

This is how it’s been moving through me lately.
And maybe—just maybe—it’s stirring something similar in you too:

• Stepping fully into my voice as a writer, researcher, and space-holder for truth.

• Letting The Mechanical World exist not as a separate project, but as an extension of this path.

• Offering 1:1 sessions that are less about “fixing” and more about remembering—through Human Design, breath, conversation, being.

• Honouring that my spiritual work is also a form of activism—that the personal and political, the energetic and systemic, are not separate but deeply intertwined.

I’m not interested in quick transformations.
I’m here for the slow, sacred untangling.
For the ones who are ready to reclaim themselves—cycle by cycle, truth by truth.

Maybe you’re in a Gate 42 moment too.
Maybe something’s ready to end—not with urgency, but with reverence.
And maybe Gate 32 is asking you: What do you still believe in? What are you choosing to carry forward—because it’s yours?

I’d love to hear how these gates are moving through your life.
And if you’re in your own season of shifting—of honouring an ending or stepping into something new—I’d love to walk beside you.

You’ll find a brand new website, a gentler rhythm, and a clearer sense of what I’m here to offer.

Sending you a deep breath,
Silvia
