I am stuck in-between 2 worlds.
One half of me trusts so deeply in the bigger picture, the blessings, the teachings of this pandemic for the world.
The other half of me is in mourning.
I mourn the causalities of this great transformation.
The lives cut short.
The families who have lost.
The jobs ripped away.
The businesses shut down.
The brave grocery store clerks.
The health care workers with families at home, risking their lives every single day.
And all the other front line workers who are working hard to make sure that life still goes on.
My eyes well with tears as I hold each and every one of you in my heart.
Those of us tucked away safe in our homes owe you so much.
You are our heroes.
And the only way I know how to honour you, is to focus on my own inner world.
To unravel all the pieces of me that were harming myself, others and the planet.
The consumerism, the materialism, the distraction, the disconnection, the ignorance, the busyness, the separation…
So that’s what I’ll do.
I’ll be over here, safe at home, unraveling.
Mourning.
Grieving.
Feeling.
And letting go of old parts of myself that no longer serve us or the planet.
And on the other side of this unraveling, what will be left is the purest, most raw, most beautiful parts of me that existed long before I was born.
Because when this is all over, that’s who the world will need me to be.
I will set aside my insecurities, so that I may shine a little brighter.
I will let go of thoughts that keep us separate, so that I may love humanity a little deeper.
I will ease up on my goals and expectations for myself, so that I may live a little slower.
I will remove the veil of ignorance of my impact on mother nature, so that I may tread a little lighter.
I will do all of these things, because in this unprecedented time of our life, that is the only thing I can control.
And who knows, it may just inspires others around me to unravel as well.
