So many of us are wrapped up in plans for the future or dwelling upon the past that we forget to truly live in the moment. The global pandemic has brought the world to a screeching halt of the systems and machinery we are used to in our lives. The health, wealth, political, and emotional systems are fragile at the moment. The tensions are rising daily as the news escalates along with it. So what are we citizens of the world to do?
Breathe, slow down, as that is the definitively guided message, and live in this moment. Acknowledge that right now, so many things suck. And this gives us permission to be in the moment. We can breathe deeply, look around, and really see the little details that are still the most important things around us. We can engage with our family and friends in a real, moment to moment togetherness, especially if we have been laid off. We can go walk or run or jump in nature. We can play with our children because we now have the time. We can listen to the wind, rain, and seek out the birds, bees, butterflies, and flowers blooming right in front of us. Even with no income, we can laugh, cry, read a book, sing, and dance. We can make our own kind of music. We can write, writing in journals, writing letters, write that book you have always tinkered about in your head but never had the time. We can hand write things instead of only using electronic keyboards! Cursive writing is a gift that connects us to our past, as is calligraphy.
With all the drama that is in the world, we can be using it as an urgency to live in this moment. This moment truly deserves the best of you, a creative and resilient you, a loving you.
Blessings,
