Last night I listened to an interesting perspective on what's happening in our world due to the coronavirus pandemic.  
The world is being forced to stop.  
Stop all the busyness and looking outward.
Schools and institutions are closing, businesses coming to a trickle or closing altogether. Countries are being quarantined. 

We are being forced to stay home and face ourselves.  

Who are we when we are not constantly in motion? 

When we're not chasing after the next shiny thing to catch our eye? 

Life is saying it's time to stop, listen, and go a little deeper.

 A Quote for These Times

"And the people stayed home.  And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still.  And listened more deeply.  Some meditated, some prayed, some danced.  Some met their shadows.  And the people began to think differently.  And the people healed.  And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.  And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed."
