Notes in the time of Corona: meditations for my neighbor

The earth moved the other day

You were alone and probably afraid

That and Coronavirus threatening to 

Change the world

and leave children without grandparents

Know that you are not really alone

There is enough toilet paper for everyone

Accept the help that is offered you

And give what you can

Let what is good touch your soul

Let the world be there 

Without being present

Accept its gifts and still be grateful

Walk your little dog

And wear those tie dyed leggings 

You thought were too young for you

Bake those cookies and promise the tulips

That spring will come
