Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love. –Rumi

It has been a struggle to live with social distancing because we are gregarious creatures. We need to love, to hold and support each other. All these can be successfully accomplished virtually, but we need to participate with our senses.

It has also been a good time to learn to live with ourselves and examine who we really are. Find yourself through awareness, just being present every moment. Fully taking part in every moment. Love yourself and what you are doing. Do more of the things that make you feel content. Sometimes do absolutely nothing at all. Sit, walk or stand still. Breathe slowly and bathe yourself in the light and energy of a deep breath. It will restore calm to your being.

It has been a chance to try something new that we might have considered interesting but never really tried out. Here's another quote from Rumi that truly brings this thought home. Living in the 13th century, this mystic's wisdom and joy never fails to inspire us even today: ‘Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.’

Namaste,
