Hello everyone, a normal human response during a disaster is to reach out and help one another. Hurricanes, floods, fires, even a sick neighbor will bring out the helpers which Mr. Roger's mother told him to focus on. But right now, with this virus raging on, many are failing the test of basic benevolence.
The ease with which people have been persuaded to override their instinctive human compassion and empathy in favor of tightly held beliefs and opinions is staggering. It is a terrible lesson to see how quickly the milk of human kindness can sour in the bowl when fears and angers are promoted.
The process of inviting people out of their heads and into their hearts can be difficult indeed. We who consider ourselves to be helpers may have years of work ahead of us.
So tonight let us take care of ourselves for it may be a long road. Rest and rejuvenation are essential. May we ask to be filled with what we need. May we take solace in the power of a source greater than ourselves. May we pick up the tools of Love once again with a lighter heart.
Thank you all,
Richard
