They say that even with a vaccine we must be willing to stay distanced and wear masks well into spring. To some this is a great sacrifice. They scream of freedom lost and stand firm in their disbelief. To those freedom fighters, everything is suspect including the surging numbers of sick and dying.
The hardest part is that it didn’t have to be. The pseudo warriors have already sacrificed something greater than freedom. They have forsaken our inherent gifts of clarity and compassion.
But I can’t waste time talking about ignorance. I want to talk to talk to the warriors who have not forsaken love and compassion. I want to say, “Do not give up.”
It’s not lost on me that scriptures share the phrase, “Leave the dead to bury the dead.” And I do not think for a moment this refers to our loved ones who have succumbed to this horrid disease. But there are those who have chosen to walk with the death of spirit in their hearts, forsaking the living. And they are very willing to lead us into their living hell.
But I am telling you, “Do not go there”. Do not live in the despair that makes one abandon heart and clarity. Do everything you can to stay alive.
And what does it mean to be alive? It is to wake every day to the realization that life is a gift, and that we are, in fact, a gift to life. We hold within us the strength and the courage to persevere. We hold the clarity and the wisdom to right the most grievous wrongs. We can ask for help and we can receive it.
We have the ability to love. And it is time we use it.
