WE CHOOSE what we will make of this moment. While efforts to halt the spread of the Corona virus require that we change our patterns of behavior over an extended period of time, how we respond now will impact our culture long after the outbreak of this disease has passed. What will we choose? Will we act selfishly, fearfully, competing for resources and supplies, leaving our neighborhood to fend for themselves? OR will we choose this moment to come together and live our vision of Beloved Community? Will we work together, look out for one another and help those that are more vulnerable? Will we foster networks of cooperation and support?
Will we choose to grow as human beings, calling forth the best of ourselves? choose to create beauty individually and in community like the Italians singing from their windows? Will we share laughter and create new ways to connect in spite of “social distancing?” Will choose to be a source of kindness and a calming presence for all those we encounter? Will we choose to set an example of how to meet what Life brings with calm, wisdom, compassion and faith?
If we do these things, we will discover how capable and resilient we are as individuals and as a people. We will deepen our awareness that we “inter-are” and find joy in it.

I’ve been surfing online greater than 3 hours today, yet I never found
any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s lovely price sufficient for me.
In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content material
as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
