Use these practices for yourself when life gets overwhelming. Teach them to your children who are home from school, to your elders who are anxious or sick, to your neighbors who may feel isolated or alone. Reach out to those who have few resources or have lost their job because of the current crisis.
This is a unique moment on our planet when the human family can become more aware of the greatness of our hearts and spirits. From Richard Hendrick’s poem…
All over the world
People are waking up to a new reality,
To how big we really are. . .
To what really matters.
To Love.
