In meditation, I asked, “What is this pandemic about?”
It’s about getting your knees knocked out from under you and bringing you back down to Earth. People had become arrogant, judgmental, and wasteful. This is a chance to see what matters -- the simple things.
How long will it last?
Until it’s over. :)
What can we do with this time of self-isolation?
For those at home, it’s harder to create new memories, so we can excavate old memories. We can process the old stuff (ideas, resentments, attitudes, etc.) so we have a new plateau for moving forward in life.
My project? I am sorting through boxes and boxes of photographs. I am organizing and recollecting. I am clearing out old thoughts and reviewing memories. Clearing mind, body, and soul.
If we use this time for self-reflection, we can remove old brain clutter so that our interior mindset catches up to where we are in life. We can re-level ourselves and establish a new plateau. Then, when we resume lives outside our homes, we can create fresh momentum. Right now, we can break old patterns, let go of thoughts we no longer need, and prepare ourselves to create whatever new adventures we seek.
And when this is over, if we choose to resume our old routines, we can do them with a new appreciation for schools, summer camps, jobs, bridge clubs, health care workers, and retail employees. We can feel a fresh appreciation for restaurants and for all kinds of entertainment.
As individuals in self-isolation, we face our lives. We remember, we examine, and we process. In a few weeks, we will venture out into a more-pristine world. Let’s not crap it up.
As a world, we are clearing the skies. There is less pollution.
We are clearing the waters. There are fewer cruise ships dropping waste.
We are clearing the streets and experiencing fewer traffic accidents.
We are also seeing how we are profoundly interconnected.
What have our country’s leaders shown us?
They have demonstrated that some are clowns and some are strong, pragmatic leaders. The fact that unqualified people, who lack good judgement and compassion, can be elected and appointed reflects what our society has become -- a fractured nation looking for answers in unlikely places.
In all matters, we need integrity, responsibility, information, experience, and wisdom. Blame doesn’t get us anywhere; solutions move us forward.
Hard decisions are being made. The decision makers need to listen to people who have answers, like health experts, governors on the frontlines, and people who are suffering economically. Then, they need to build consensus. There are clear, competing issues (health vs. the economy). Leaders who rise to the occasion will find ways to get us working together. People will see that, as a group, we can move in the same direction – perhaps in small steps, but together. Leaders who fail to rise to the occasion, will take this country down an ominous path.
Send positive thoughts to our country’s leaders, to the people working on the frontlines, to the people who have lost their jobs, to those who are sick, and to those who care for them. Remember, when we uplift any part of our world, we lift it all.
