Window Of Opportunity
From a certain perspective, we can see how the things that happen to us, either singly or as a society, present an opportunity. Covid 19 is no exception.
A space has been opened for us. It is a forced space, one that we didn’t even know we needed, but it turns out, we did. We weren’t paying attention to all that is good because there were too many distractions that made much more noise.
We have been humbled in a way that surely has most if not all of our attention. To stop and smell the roses doesn’t even begin to cover all of what we are being asked to do. The stopping is the important piece and thankfully, we had to do at least that much. Whatever we were uniquely up to in that moment the world took a rather long pause, hopefully, something of consequence occurred to all. Hopefully, we are in touch with our own personal responsibility in the global circumstance.
This is not to cast blame on my fellow humans. It is to sit in the space of responsible behavior that originates with poor thinking. It is to suggest that we can do better with that. We can avoid having to be tapped on the shoulder once again to remind us of our humility and compassion and oneness.
