Covid-19 is
now wrecking havoc country by country. Example: Here’s Australia’s concern: “Thousands
Of Australian Doctors Call On Government To Ramp Up Coronavirus Response[1].”
Don’t
panic! Above image, Enn Hanson speaking, Poetic
Underground, Pinterest by Girl Named Michael[2]. Instead,
meditate, contemplate, ponder, deliberate,
ruminate.
Below, long
text, with editing: “WHAT IF” is Gurpreet K Gill speaking, Dallas, Texas lady internist,
on Facebook, cited by Milwida Reyes saying, “The best take on COVID 19 I've
read so far.”
WHAT IF…
There is so much fear, and perhaps rightfully
so, about COVID-19.
And, what if…
If we subscribe to the philosophy that life is always working out for us, that there is an intelligence far greater than humans at work…
That all is interconnected.

What if…
The virus is here to help us?
To reset.
To remember.
What is truly important.
Reconnecting with family and community.
Reducing travel so that the environment… skies… air, our lungs all get a break.
(Parts of China are seeing blue sky and clouds for the first time in forever with the factories being shut down.)
Working from home rather than commuting to work (less pollution, more personal time).
Reconnecting with family as there is more time at home.
An invitation to turn inwards – a deep meditation – rather than the usual extroverted going out to self-soothe.
To reconnect with self…
To reset economically.
The working poor. The lack of healthcare access for over 30 million in the US. The need for paid sick leave.
How hard does one need to work to be able to live, to have a life outside of work?
To face our mortality – check back into “living” life rather than simply working, working, working.
To reconnect with our elders, who are so susceptible to this virus.
And, to wash our hands – how did that become a “new” thing that we needed to remember. But, yes, we did.
The presence of Grace for all.
There is a shift underway in our society – what if it is one that is favorable to us?

What if this virus is an ally in our evolution?
To remember what it means to be connected, humane, living a simpler life, to be less impactful/more kind to our environment.

An offering from my heart this morning.
Offered as another perspective.
Another way of relating to this virus, this unfolding, this evolution.
