A virus teaches
People to slow down and breathe
Nature gets a break
A virus changes all
Losing people, money, time
Daily exhaustion
While everything is slowing down around the globe, some of us are called to give everything these days, may it be nurses, doctors, people who are working in grocery stores, journalists, policemen, border control, and logisticians, … Some fear for their financial existence, for everything they built up in their lives, what they put all their heart in.
Some of us experience the opposite. Less stress and hectic, more time for themselves, more time to breathe, more time to relax, more time to enjoy the beautiful spring weather, and time to reflect. Mother Earth is taking a deep breath these days too.
However, I could imagine that after the crisis is over, something in the way we live and how we look at our planet and our fellow men may have changed. To look at it from a higher perspective, the world may have needed it. Haven’t we all talked about something that will happen to raise our awareness? It is not a war, nor is it a gigantic natural disaster. If we look a bit closer, we should be thankful because it could have been something way worse to raise our awareness.
In Love and Light

I couldn’t agree more with you, Erika!
This pandemic is certainly such a phenomenal event of our lifetime. It will definitely shake up the whole meaning of what we consider of our own selves, what we are capable of and what we should be the utmost importance to us in the first place.
Stay safe 🙂

You summed that up so well, Hammad. Yes, that is how I think about too. We may be all in separation now but may it show us how important it is to be social… really social!
Thank you and stay safe too, Hammad!

I find it appropriate to ask, what we can and may learn by this situation, Erika.
When something happens, as we have no control about, we need to accept the situation and find out, how to go on with our lives.
Let us continue to send healing and light to our world, as now gets a chance to heal too.
Much love to you ❤

Exactly, such an exceptional situation makes people find new or other ways to live. We see that the economy breaks down when something like this happens. We are too depending. I remember a good old friend saying that one day money will be useless and we will find other ways to exchange values. Maybe this is one of the situations that provoke such new approaches. Also life got more and more hectic, faster, more, better… Now, we are forced to slow down. And to tell it from my perspective, I have not felt that relaxed for years.
As you said, let’s send out as much love as possible to those who need it the most. Let’s share good energy in order to strengthen. This is one thing the world may remember: Being there for each other, togetherness, support, selflessness…maybe. However, hopefully this virus has a healing effect .
Thank you, Irene, and much love to you 💖

Hopefully when this passes and it will, people will be more conscious of the environment, of each other and life itself. Most crises bring about that kumbaya moment where everyone comes together to support and help one another. At the onset of Corona it brought with it confusion and mass hysteria. This is truly moment by moment, day by day situation because because they haven’t gotten a real handle on it yet. We need reliable source information and not information overload. In the end, the world will be alright. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Erika. Peace and blessings always.

Yes, that is a good point. It teaches us to be more in the moment and not only live in our agendas and run after each and every possible deal.
I believe so too. When this madness is over and people bethink again of what really matters in life. We might have done the first big and crucial step towards a healed world and planet.
Peace and blessings to you too, Sylvester. Thank you!

Given our diversity and, sadly, the discrimination, antagonism and non-acceptance of those who are “different” ,,,, it would appear that COVID-19 will serve a purpose. If you want to see a diverse group of people come together with a common goal …. threaten the group. There are many examples in our history where the most unlikely of cultural mixes have worked together, the catalyst being a common enemy.
Most of the world would appear to be now acknowledging the potential seriousness of COVID-19. Given that much data is now being shared, as are strategies to control the spread of this virus, those that survive COVID-19 may well have a very different perspective on our world.
Based on what we are hearing here (Canada) regarding all the services and businesses shutting down, some of which may not reopen, and based on the huge costs being incurred by governments to try and support the commercial sector; to assist individuals whose income has stopped, as well as to accommodate the increased demands on our healthcare system, I would suggest that when our fight with COVID-19 is ended, our world will be a very different place. This, I believe, will be good for everybody. We will have little choice but to totally reassess our values and our priorities.

Yes, the consequences are more than dramatic and it throws everybody out of their familiar way of living. The economic impact is still unpredictable. As you said, there is compassion and support but also a big kind of an I-first attitude which may result in very nasty disputes. But later, and I believe this whole-heartedly, the values will have changed dramatically. I could imaging that this global wave will teach us that we need each other. It feels like a cleaning fire for the minds. Yes, a different place will be left to rebuild our values and virtues.
Thank you, Colin!

So true! Thank you for the motivation, Erika! Have a beautiful evening. Just listened to the speech of our chancellor. Sounded similar to US-presidential speech from the movie “Independence Day”. Its all a little bit surreal.

It will move us indeed Erika. Our everyday thoughts are no longer so blase, a shift has occurred and at last an appreciation has touched many within. We will no longer hold so many meaningless thoughts simply because our lives have now been moved and asked us to step out from under them. This emotional confrontation will allow us to see us…and the vagaries of men, so that we will look and ask ourselves what truly do we believe…or…want to believe.
It is only when we face our fears does our belief of ourselves become stronger, wiser and gifted with that inner love. But first the stumble and its aftermath so that this wiser love may be born. In this very subtle event it has shown great love and great fear. And at the least an appreciation of that difference will beckon us all 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

I am sure that the perspective will rise. We have one global situation and everybody gets thre from their own point of living which makes it so interesting. We will see, how much the perspectives will more align over the coming weeks or later. Also the economical consequences will hold their challenges for a long time.
May the wiser love be born, as you said it wonderfully, Mark 😊🙏
