Benediction

3/31/2020

 
I close my eyes and try to focus on a thought, any thought.
What swirls around in my head – questions, concerns, stress….
The # of cases, the sick amongst us continues to grow…
What about the healthcare professionals, the EMT’s, the first responders….
My head hurts with the pain of unknowing, more and more every day.
 
As I open my eyes, I hear the sounds of today: laughter of children, the sounds of Youtube, tick-tock.
Stuck in my home with all of my possessions, my children, my family, and memories….
Did I shower today?  Did my children brush their teeth?  Is it Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday….
Pandemic; Coronavirus; Covid19; Flu Symptons…
Breathe; just take a breath and relax – keeping the distance is necessary to survive.
 
What is present in these questions is hope.
What is present in these worries is optimism.
What is present in these fears are dreams.
What is present in this reality is the future.
Be with us, God, be with us and help us…we will make it through this, together not apart.
