What's your blind spot?
It's interesting how you sometimes can react and behave badly when you're forced out of your comfort zone and into quarantine with other people. You have an innate blind spot you keep to yourself and it can surface when you're under stress.
We're actually being forced into learning more about ourselves.
Coping with others and their needs is a big challenge for all of us. Tempers can flare, patience seems in short supply yet I'm finding that these episodes are short lived and life goes on as we all are grateful we have food on the table and a roof over our heads.
What we're going through is actually a good thing. It's bringing families and communities together. In the long run I believe we'll all look back and view this event in our lives as healthy and beneficial.
We are innovative and inventive and these skills are coming into play as we learn to live in close proximity with one another sometimes in the role of mediator, clergyman, and/or fortune teller as we advise, forgive and offer our view of the future, tell bedtime stories, watch videos, fix our favorite recipes and play games.
We're actually learning a lot about ourselves and others, in the process.
Many are praying for peace and healing. Another good thing that's happening.
We're realizing that life can change in an instant and that we're not in charge but only to a small extent.
We are learning to rely on others for guidance and comfort instead of being distant and fearful.
The Apocalypse is upon us but hopefully, through all that's being required of us, we will emerge as a more loving and peaceful group of sentient beings.
Maybe that's what it's all about.
Amen,
