Preservation
Our PAST started on March 11th and social distancing and quarantining became the future. Cloistered is no longer for monks; it has become our way. We've awakened into an unhurried slow down driven by the fear of death and the gruesome reality of joblessness. Before the past what were you? Before our locked away limelight, what were your plans and dreams? What were you saving for? What were your prayers? I would imagine they WEREN'T tempered with a solid look at the horizon desperate for knowing what’s next or consumed with thoughts of what your relationships really mean. People are shattered; crushed without the ability to self actualize in certainty. Don't simply float untethered, grabbed up by the winds. PRESERVE the COVID gratitude that has been injected deep into our consciousness since the PAST came to call. Preserve the gratitude you feel for those working to end this. Preserve the want you have to help. Preserve the mercy you have for your elderly neighbor who can't get out and get food. Preserve the faith you have that says we will get through this no matter how uncertain things look. Preserve the pivot you made with your business to pay the rent. Preserve the new protocols you learned to simply stay healthy. Preserve the prayers you've cried out to rescue us. Preserve attending to the earth and her needs. Preserve the texts, phone, calls and Zooms to family and friends. Preserve the hope you have to simply sit with friends. Preserve the silence you've come to love in the morning as you get ready for work online. Preserve the new ways you've come to love yourself and those around you.
