Dear friends ~ a thoughtful poem to read and consider as we traverse this time of disruption together.

WHAT IF



What if… the virus is here to help us?

What 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.

To reset. To remember. What is truly important.

Reconnecting with family and community.

I think we should also start a global trend that says 'Thank You' to all the people who are enabling us to stay at home. The food producers, the warehouse workers, the van drivers, the supermarket staff. the Pharmacy staff, the hospital staff, the social welfare staff, the many many many unseen people working behind the scenes still keeping things ticking over so the majority of people can stay at home.

The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules and who's on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it's alive. The thing to do is to…

"Everything under heaven is a sacred vessel and cannot be controlled.

Trying to control leads to ruin. Trying to grasp.. we lose.
