Gratitude
I haven’t written much lately. Although I’ve been painting, I haven’t finished a multitude of canvases. Mostly I’ve been finding my natural rhythm. Searching internally for a greater sense of peace, contentment and purpose.
I am thankful for this time, the noise of the outside world lowered to a less deafening level. I am thankful that I can go for a swim and not have to dodge a throng of people. The sea life is noticing the change as well and responding by coming closer to the shore.
I am not in denial of the hardships that many of us face, but honestly, if finances are our worry then we should be thankful. So many families are grieving for lost ones. Their profound pain only exacerbated by the ongoing din of debate on whether or not we should be wearing face masks.
We are all on different ships during this storm experiencing a very different journey. -Unknown author.
That was the best description I’ve run into. No judgements on the other ships, they’re just different.
The entire world is going through this crisis. My prayer is that we can pull together as a species and find solutions. Find balance. It may be unrealistic but then, that’s the nature of my ship.
