In the midst of all the chaos, divisiveness, gas-lighting and subversion currently enveloping the U.S. there is one thing I believe deeply and continually center myself within.
I believe Covid-19 is a call to compassion.
It is a call to release the need to be right.
It is a call to release the need to be the winner.
I feel that this call asks me to suspend all personal leanings and beliefs that would prevent my extending genuine kindness and compassion to any, and all, that are suffering directly and/or indirectly due to Covid 19.
I feel this call to compassion does not require me to surrender my personal freedom; it merely invites me to reevaluate where I believe my personal well-being does or does not foster the well-being of my neighbor/nation/humanity.
Covid 19 has proven to me that we do not always need to “be in the know” to do the right thing.
I accept that I may never be able to make any sense out of the numbers or the multitude of opinions.
I release the need to know in favor of embracing and extending compassion.
I am truly sorry for the many that are in pain.
I am truly sorry that those that are suffering must experience their challenges and grief with so much adversity.
You deserve better.
I wish all of you a gentler, kinder and more peaceful recovery in the days ahead.
I wish this for myself as well; and also for those that don’t seem to hear the same call that I do.
