I love this thought, it has not happened to me though I have heard others talk about it and how things are just more active in the spirit world. I love that our being anchored in this time, space and reality has impeded our ability to distract ourselves by leading our “busy” lives. Instead we must notice the changes that have happened by our screeching halt: nature is flourish and taking back their space, the environment is healing itself and most of us are still okay! That speaks to my life, but not everyone else’s lives. I feel deeply for those who are not okay, who cannot pay their rent or feed their families and those that are lonely or feel helpless. I am thankful and grateful everyday and will give up more to help those with less.

I had a wonderful conversation with a friend in my building that I think sums up most eloquently what we are experiencing. She quoted Victor Frankel who, referring to the horrors of the concentration camp that he was living through, said that "we must be worthy of this time". Not that this time in any way compares to that horrible experience, but it does put any inclination to complain or be impatient into a whole new category. I hope to be worthy of this time in my life, when the clock is definitely ticking down my days on this earth. I want to be able to say at the end of every day, well, I can feel good about how I spent at least some of this day.
