What is the message? We ALL know better than this.

Don’t use all that toilet paper.  Be conscious of how much you consume.  We don’t know what lies ahead but what we do know…..a message.

In order to make sense of the chaos, one must find the purpose.  For most, it is not the illness that we fear most.  It is what is happening all around us.

Everything is closing, everything changing.  We look into the news, into our feeds and we watch the world unravel before our eyes.  We try to answer the questions from our children in a lighthearted and positive way, yet we find that harder and harder to accomplish.

We can’t help but pay attention to….Well frankly, all of it.

So what does it all mean.  What can we do to ease the burden of our anxiety?

I believe it is our duty to be conscious.  We knew something like this would face us.  We knew we couldn’t keep going like this.

We must look at the feat in front of us, be strong, and remember we are all here to learn.  COVID-19 may be the most valuable lesson many us will ever face in this lifetime.  Our mothers and fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers, they all had something similar to this.  No it has never been so heavy.  But we have been heavy.  We have been taking and taking, climbing and stepping on our brothers and sisters.

We are humanity and this is a peril.  Many of us will make it through this, but the question remains, what will we do different.

Oh Mother Nature, The Irony…

In the 1970s, chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis developed the Gaia hypothesis; the theory that all organic and inorganic components on the planet are part of one self-regulating system, working to maintain and perpetuate life on earth.

As the earth becomes more polluted by human greed, and most of us can barely survive, we must recognize the obvious.

COVID-19 has infected 218,220 and killed almost 9,000 people.  It has forced entire countries to shut down, air and land travel has rapidly declined, and people are being forced to isolate.

Think of the symbolism of what has been taken from us humans since COVID-19 showed up.

Our feeling of security is gone.  Our fun and adventure, gone.  Our food stores are almost empty.  Our friends and family, apart.

Our moments, at a stand still.

Mother Nature has a way of showing us, who is the most powerful.  As we watch the rich and powerful hoard and destroy what is left on this beautiful planet, Mother Nature has made a statement.

COVID-19 will teach us a valuable lesson.

The richest in the world are rapidly losing money as they have to carry the poor.  If they do not assist the poor, this virus will be sure to spread faster and wider.

How ironic that today we watch as the rich scramble to hold all of us up.  Governments are having to tell the truth and listen to the science.  They are forced to donate their billions to save the world.  They know that if the world financially collapses, their billions will disappear.  If they don’t help cure people, THEY may be next to be infected.

Ohhhh Mother Nature, how you really have humbled us this time.  You have forced us to see that no matter the race, religion, or amount of money, WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER.  We are connected.  Hopefully COVID-19 will show everyone that to save themselves, they must save another.  Take time to appreciate that the birds are still chirping, the wind still blowing, and the best place for you to stand is in the sun.
