Enjoy your solitude and learn something new there are a lot of online classes, some for free!
Do some art. Dance. Learn to play an instrument. Sing!
Tell your self a new story.
Read the mythic stories of heroes and heroines.
Write what you're doing and share on social media. Pass around your ideas.
We can make something good of this 'self-distancing'. Let's come out of this 'crisis' better than we were.
Walk in the Light and Delight in the Springtime energy,
Cathy
A Swiss friend sent me this to share.
Lockdown
Yes there is fear.
Yes there is
isolation.
Yes there is panic buying.
Yes there is
sickness.
Yes there is even death.
But,
They say that in
Wuhan after so many years of noise
You can hear the birds
again.
They say that after just a few weeks of quiet
The sky is
no longer thick with fumes
But blue and grey and clear.
They
say that in the streets of Assisi
People are singing to each
other
across the empty squares,
keeping their windows open
so
that those who are alone
may hear the sounds of family around
them.
They say that a hotel in the West of Ireland
Is offering
free meals and delivery to the housebound.
Today a young woman I
know
is busy spreading fliers with her number
through the
neighbourhood
So that the elders may have someone to call
on.
Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples
are
preparing to welcome
and shelter the homeless, the sick, the
weary
All over the world people are slowing down and
reflecting
All over the world people are looking at their
neighbours in a new way
All over the world people are waking up to
a new reality
To how big we really are.
To how little control
we really have.
To what really matters.
To Love.
So we pray
and we remember that
Yes there is fear.
But there does not have
to be hate.
Yes there is isolation.
But there does not have to
be loneliness.
Yes there is panic buying.
But there does not
have to be meanness.
Yes there is sickness.
But there does not
have to be disease of the soul
Yes there is even death.
But
there can always be a rebirth of love.
Wake to the choices you
make as to how to live now.
Today, breathe.
Listen, behind the
factory noises of your panic
The birds are singing again
The
sky is clearing,
Spring is coming,
And we are always
encompassed by Love.
Open the windows of your soul
And though
you may not be able
to touch across the empty square,
Sing.
