I was planning on writing something like this today, but this lady did it so well I can't do it any better. No matter your beliefs or religion, this is one you should read.

The virus lockdown.
Yes there is fear.
Yes there is isolation.
Yes there is panic buying.
Yes there is sickness.
Yes there is even death.
But, they say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise you can hear the birds again. They say that after just a few weeks of quiet the sky is no longer thick with fumes but blue and grey and clear.
They say that in the streets of Assisi People are singing to each other across the empty squares, keeping their windows open so that those who are alone may hear the sounds of family, friends and those in the same situation around them.
They say that a hotel in the West of Ireland is offering free meals and delivery to the housebound.
Today some young people I know are busy spreading fliers, messages and offers to help
through the neighbourhood
So that the elders may have someone to call on for anything they need or go to the shops for them.
Today Churches, Synagogues and Temples are preparing to welcome and shelter the homeless, the sick, the weary.
Families and friends are coming together to help each other. People are showing kindness to strangers.
All over the world people are slowing down and reflecting.
All over the world people are looking at their neighbours in a new way. All over the world people are waking up to a new reality to how big we really are. To how little control we really have. To what really matters. Waking up to Love.
So we pray and we remember that. Yes there is fear, but there does not have to be hate. Yes there is isolation, but there does not have to be loneliness. Yes there is panic buying, but there does not have to be meanness. Yes there is sickness, but there does not have to be disease of the soul. Yes there is even death, but there can always be a rebirth of love.
Wake to the choices you make as to how to live now. Today, just breathe, be grateful you are healthy and spare a thought for those who are less fortunate.
Listen behind the factory noises of your panic. The birds are singing again. The sky is clearing, Spring is coming, and we are always encompassed by Love.
Open the windows of your soul
and sing.
