Waiting for what?

  It's another day on planet Earth! I am sitting in my living room in the little capitol city of Vermont. It's a sunny day, another hot one here! I hope wherever you are you having a good day. My heart goes out to all who are suffering and grieving in these days.
   We humans are experiencing a crisis like no other in our lifetimes! 
  The planet is in turmoil thanks to a corrupt cabal of world powers. Yes the lunatics have taken over the asylum! 
   As I have stated so many many times before here our treatment of the environment has led to a place of emergency! Nonetheless a tiny thing like this virus has caused even the war machine to grind it's terrible wheels to a halt. Factories are closed, fewer carbon emitting machines pollute the air and water. Without these factors we see nature returning! The skies are blue in places where they have been shrouded in a thick haze for decades! Even the Himalayas are clear on the horizon! There are so many stories like this. So what can we do as humans? Here we are holed up in our homes. Some are relieved finding themselves with more time away from demanding work schedules and with more time for family and the things they could not fit in before. For others it is a period marked by fear and isolation. For all there are challenges beyond that of which we are accustomed to. As it has been said we are an adaptable species and we must remember this! Still we wonder how can life continue to grow and sustain us in this so-called New Normal? 
  What have you done today to feel alive? Did you greet the sun? Did you dance? Did you sing? Did you play with your kids or pets? Did you make art? Did you make love? Did you take a walk if you were able to? Did you discover anything new in or around you? Did you reach out to someone who needed just a friendly voice? Did you dream? Did you pray? 
   Remember we are still here as a human family. We are seeing both great division in political and social circles. At the same time while being united in the global effort to eradicate this plague we are overturning history. Nothing will be as we have known. What kind of world can we create if we learn to overcome our prejudices and embrace our differences? We can no longer ignore the harm these attitudes of apathy and violence have done to our lives and our world. We must change all this! Even if the virus were to be gone soon returning to business as usual is only inviting more danger. This we know. We must see beyond our own fences. Let us take this time of quarantine to slow down, listen and learn with heart and spirit 
Amen! , Aho! , Make it So!
