From my manuscript in progress, Reflections on the River...
Tethered
We are all empty vessels
Floating tenuously on the river
Tethered by an ancient cord
To the Earth’s womb.

We’re all searching for ways to stay afloat in the midst of turbulent times. Many of us have lost our anchors, be it our jobs – our financial stability or physical contact with the people in our lives who are often there when we need someone to hold us up. It is a tough time for everyone right now. And more then ever we need to pull together, and help each through this unprecedented time of social and physical distancing.
Today, I re-mind myself that in this time or so many people, all around the world, staying at home, staying sheltered, staying afloat — we can all work together to make our world a better place. I set my intent today and everyday to do my part in working to make the world a better place and strive help keep others afloat. And so it is… Intent makes manifest. Namaste.

As daily life for so many around the United States and the world slows down in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, today is a good day to remind ourselves to look for the little miracles that happen everyday around us. Some of us may wonder, how can little miracles be happening as people are out of work, staying at home to flatten the curve of the spread of the virus, and people are dying.
But if we all look closely and strive to be in the moment, we will see the grace unfolding around us. That grace is the phone calls from friends and family. That grace is stepping outside to hear the birds sing. That grace is seeing the spring flowers bloom, watching the children play… There is truly so much to be grateful for right now. And so it is, I set my intent today, and every day, to acknowledge the little miracles that unfold around me and be grateful for each and every one of those miracles. Intent makes manifest. Namaste…

Today, I set my intent to stay focused and productive in the midst of mayhem and uncertainty of the world. These are trying times for everyone. We can’t let ourselves slip into fear and panic. We must stay busy at home doing things that make us happy, and contribute to the happiness of others. And so it is today, that I make the promise to myself to focus on the things I can do to make a difference in these troubled times. Intent makes manifest… Namaste.

We’re in the midst of some unprecedented times in the world. With Coronavirus spreading to every country and many countries scrambling to shut down businesses and keep people at home to stop the spread of the virus and flatten the curve, we’re all in a state of suspension that is nothing we could ever imagine happening prior to this.
I’ve been through a range of emotions in the last week or so, as I am sure many have. I’ve been sad, I found myself easily driven to tears, I’ve been angry and I’ve been afraid. I have no doubt I may cycle through these emotions again as we continue to hunker down around the United States and the world, waiting to for this all to pass and hoping, praying that we and our loved ones are not stricken with Coronavirus.
Last night while sitting in contemplation, I decided that in order stay strong through this all, I needed to not rise to the fear and anger, because sitting in fear and anger is not healthy for anyone ever. I know this isn’t easy to release our fear and anger, it is something we must work at, but the more we can let it go, the clearer our hearts and minds will be and the healthier we will be.
Life is always a series of tests. Life is always in flux. Life is always in motion, even when it feels like the world is standing still, which in so many regards it is. So today, I’m practicing the being in the moment as much as I can. It is my hope as I write this, and subsequently share it, that others will choose to not sit in fear and anger as well.
Be kind to one another and spread compassion and empathy to all. Namaste…
