This poem has recently gone viral - and for good reason. It's a beautiful summing up of the effect of the coronovirus crisis on the world, and on all of us.
We can use the crisis to try to find our passions once more. Get to know - and maybe even learn to love - ourselves.
And the People Stayed Home by Kitty O'Meara
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.
