Please remember that for many people who live alone, this “stay at home” – “shelter in place” new normal in the midst of the coronavirus, is a lonely trail. Make sure those folks who you know are walking this path alone, know that they are loved. Peace… 💚
From my manuscript in progress, Reflections on the River...
TetheredWe are all empty vesselsFloating tenuously on the riverTethered by an ancient cordTo 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.
Update: Thank you to the generous people who stepped up and donated to help me pay my web hosting renewal bill. As an artist I rely on the sales of my photography and freelance work to pay the bills. Currently my a limited collection of my photography is available for sale in my Facebook Shop. In the coming weeks I will be adding a new photography gallery here on PamelaLeavey.com that will offer a larger selection of my work in a variety of print sizes and products. In the meantime, please consider donating to my PayPal account here. * Updated April 9, 2020
Sometimes I muse and I ramble because I can... I muse about life and things that matter to me...
