I woke up this morning alarm clock free to the stream of light from my bed side window kissing my face. I slept really well so I feel good and optimistic about the day. Before I can decide what I will have for breakfast I lose my appetite to the reality that the world is at the mercy of the coronavirus pandemic.
Logic and history dictates that this coronavirus situation is not at all unnatural and was bound to happen eventually. There has been many viruses worse than this one to plague our world before.... The most difficult thing to accept about it is the fact that it's happening to us right now! Learning about the plague , Spanish flu, smallpox and syphilis wiping out the native Americans sounds terrible. None of us are ever walking around thinking one day it will happen to us. We are just greatful we weren't here when it happened in the past and pray we will be gone before it happens again.
I don't mind self quarantining because I'm a introvert anyway. I don't mind the economy dropping because my husband and I are extremely inventive survivalist who have conquered more uncertain times than this. I'm not worried about myself or my family getting sick and dying because we are all generally healthy. My anxiety and worry is for the loss of our Sages and those we love with struggling immunity. Unfortunately already 3 members of my extended family have the virus. I keep them in prayer along with prayer for the world.
The whole world is shaken up right now. We all have the same concerns and fears and it's manifesting in alot of negative ways. People you thought you knew are looking a mess with their prejudices, ignorance, and selfishness sticking out. It doesn't matter though because some really beautiful and positive things are happening as well. I almost cried happy inspirational tears to seeing the Italians singing on the balconies with each other. They have it pretty bad right now but they are still here with their heads up high singing songs to unite and inspire motivation through this thing. The world has not ended and will not end with this pandemic because people will always find away to come together even if they can't touch as long as we can feel. We feel each other's anxieties, emotions and fears and those of us that are strong in body and mind will always rise to support those that need us.
During these difficult times if you have the positive energy, strength or extra to help someone that needs you be the light to shine hope in places without it. Many people are afraid right now and just because you can't touch them doesn't mean you can't help.
