In Uncertainty, Never the Less, We Persist

Each day brings fresh news from around the world that is, to say the least, disquieting. The cancellation of daily activities can leave us all feeling a little lost. Those who are already facing health challenges, mental, physical or a combination of both, can feel overwhelmed. And even those with no apparent struggles can feel less grounded in the midst of the fluidity that is the current landscape. It may be wise to say that 'the only way forward is through.' But the through is not always a saunter through the flower filled meadow.

Nevertheless, we persist.

We persist holding our hearts open and tender, broken perhaps, but broken so 'the light gets in.'

We persist in sweetness to one another and the world, knowing that love is the most powerful of forces and the only one capable of real change.

We persist in thinking only the best of thoughts, turning deliberately away from nagging fears and all those things that go bump in the night.

We remember that everyone is a divine child, born of stardust and dreams, and every loss is a loss of creative spark that bears the creators spirit.

We persist in our care for one another.

Though we may not be able to meet face to face, we may open our hearts, our ears, our thoughts to one another, and reach out to the world in love.
