Ponderings On The Pandemic…A Source Of Strength For You

Everything is trying to be! Even a strand of RNA virus; spreading to find hosts because it can’t exist alone for long. In my meditations, it mutates enough to go away: far beyond the atmosphere twining in helix form to populate some far-flung planet. There evolving into some higher, safer, more enlightened species. Ultimate social distancing at its best!

Yet the physical distance we’ve needed has shown us how isolation and intimacy are two ends of a spectrum. How do we use these positions for learning insight and kindness?

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. -Theodore Isaac Rubin

When the treat of death comes close and namable, we are humbled by the precariousness of life. How precious is this life-gift of self-awareness, of consciousness, of contemplation; and also, how daunting.

We like to think of life as predictable. Even early sun worshipers loved to track the consistency of light and shadow. Yet we are gifted a new day every day. The unpredictable arises anew. The malleable ever-changing reality offers up the invitation for creativity- adaptability- the possibility of all things. Things rise and fall away in the passing of space-time and we are aware.

I choose to be aware, or do I? Do we choose this awareness? Yet, here it is. So, I invite you to be aware in an observable state inclined to choose love as the ultimate creative force. Fear is here too, and we can listen and be careful, still remembering love as the way to quiet the fear. To quiet it just enough to reach out for one another in kindness and bravery. If you have found this core of strength…share it. It is greatly needed. It is a true survival tactic.

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. -Henry James

We need one another to survive and grow and evolve. Love is the conduit for us to endure.

The energy frequency of love can change your conscious mind.…Bruce Lipton

Love is what runs the Universes. It is what creates. It is that which makes all want to be.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.…Dalai Lama

May love lead us to its radiance. This is not a Pollyanna plan. It is the only reasonable choice in an unpredictable world. It is your intention, your inclination reaching out and interacting within the possibility of all things. Perhaps it is your reason to be!
