The Covid19 and the Planet
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious or afraid right now.
I’m in touch with few friends.
And I’m speaking with those who are at home, doing all we can to make the best of a tense and difficult situation—friends having panic attacks, jobs are changed or ending, parents struggling to keep it together for their kids.
Now is the time to draw on our inner and outer resources, to be here for each other. We all have inner resources (whether we recognize it or not) and we have each other.
Our ancestors and lineage and faith are resources. And the unfathomable generosity of this planet.
Things are hard right now for us humans; there’s no way around that. There is no simple “look on the bright side” to make the situation more palatable.
But there is an opportunity to bring forth the goodness in our hearts, to share that with each other, and to allow ourselves to be nourished by it. And that starts with finding some tenderness for yourself, right here and now, just where you are.
I invite you to take a moment to pause.
Can you turn your attention inward with a kind, gentle gaze? Can you feel one in-breath? Can you feel your feet on the ground as you breathe out? With everything that’s happening, it’s easy to forget to slow down and make space to be with how you’re feeling
So now it’s just read, writing, music, meditation, eat, drink, talking with souls.
(I bet there’s going to be a lot of babies soon - that’s another thing to do)
The Covid19 is going to stop.
The planet is spinning
