A New Space
I come to you today from my back yard. It's going to be another really hot day in South LA. However, with the breeze as it is, nature called to me. I was going to write from my altar today...let's just call this another altar.
I had the Pagean radio station blaring for a while. I turned it off now. The birds are so vocal this morning! The crickets are telling me the temperature. I am blessed to live in a country setting. Sure, I still hear the neighbor's dogs barking and the other neighbor yelling a his dog....but it's so peaceful nonetheless.
Oh...and I can't forget the cat that's been my shadow the past week...
This whole virus thing has had me thinking so much more lately. My son works in a store that is considered essential. My husband works in a profession also labeled as such. So they're exposed daily. My daughter is home from boarding school. She and I spend most days in the house. Thankfully, my day job is cancelled for the next few weeks. I have a few of the illnesses that make me a higher risk to get the virus and have it be bad.
But can I tell you something? I'm not worried. I have meditated and thought on this so much. And I am at peace with whatever happens. I truly believe whatever happens is what is meant to happen. I can't live in fear about the "what if"s. This virus is so many's worst fear--the unknown. However, at the end of the day, it is natural. The virus is something that has been born unto this world for a reason.
Sure, it could be an end-all scary reason. But it can also be a good reason. People are staying home with their loved ones. Life has slowed down for so many. Kids are playing outside again. Nature is getting a bit of a reset. Maybe Mother Nature needed this break, as well as her children.
I suppose this needs to be it for now, as my helper is begging for attention. Later, I will be at my altar praying once again for health and protection. I will be cleaning my home since I have time. I will cook a great dinner for my little family. And I will feel blessed for the time I have to do such lovely things.
Be Blessed.
