An Ode to a Coronavirus
Thank you, so-called SARS-CoV-2, for helping us to more clearly see so many of our misalignments with our interconnectedness and with Truth.
Thank you for helping us to see the ways that we’ve fallen short of caring for ourselves, our fellow creatures, and the planet.
Thank you for leading us to this priceless period of rest, transformation, and glorious silence, and for reminding us of the profound gift that is each and every breath.
Thank you for helping us to see the many ways we hold back our love and get entangled in thoughts while reminding us that we can allow any emotion to simply arise and pass away and that we can accept any circumstance with equanimity.
Thank you to you and your kin in an ongoing way for supporting our inherent health, resiliency, and equilibrium. Please forgive our misunderstanding of the ways that you care for us as we relearn your true nature and wholesomeness.
Thank you for reminding us that separation is an illusion and that we might actually enjoy each other's company—or our own—more than we thought we did.
Thank you for helping us to recognize the true abundance that surrounds us at all times, that paper products are often superfluous, and that canned goods can be handy but that fresh food is precious.
And most of all, thank you for helping us to heal. May we always remember that the solution is contained within the “problem,” and may we always remember to turn towards rather than away.
I love you.
