corona virus space and all of us


Our biggest worry, the harm we can do, our biggest threat, the words we use, the door closes, alone in your head, no distractions, can you live with yourself. The shops are closed, the gym is out, what will I do with my time, what about my work, the worries rise, our worries, is there anything we can do about it.
Turn the mind back, to another time, the earth shook, the panic in the hearts, what's happening to us. The man of sorrows on the cross, he was divine they realize, how will we cope with this, tears of despair, how could we allow this, the reflection.
Imagine all those witch hunts, those great causes we thought, voices trying to out do each other, everyone trying to make sense, using crisis after crisis, to get ahead, one over on the rest of us, how clever we thought, then the Corona virus arrives, and we suddenly have time to think about it.
Get up and start again, lessons learned, we need space to think. we can't hitch our lives to the next great panic.

Solomon encountered the Holy Spirit, it came with many gifts, put your trust in me He Said, and everything will be all right. Imagine the sort of inner space you need, for the loving Spirit to be able to reside inside you, imagine the reward for those who are prepared to make that effort. Do you want to expose yourself to every sort of fear, when you can live in peace instead, amen.

today


the most pressing issues, the schedule, have to be there for lunch, the gym at four, home at six, rest, some TV, a quick nap and a..., sleep, wake up, forgot the pills, must make a to do list, phone rings, missed that, another appointment, darn, how did I forget, lunch schedule, more salad, the office is getting a makeover, might get a new desk, stop, furniture store, stop lingerie boutique, it's valentines day soon, must give it a look, ramble to the office, should not have had wine over lunch, feeling a little oozy, should give up the drink. bubble gum, the breath feels better, can't taste the booze on my lips, still have the urge though, to go for another drink.
