Whisper words of wisdom, let it be…

The world. it has begun to spin out of control. Covid-19 has infected many and even take the lives of some. Because of this, my life has gone from, “How many hours can I spend at the studio today?” to “When did my life become a Science Fiction Movie?”. 

Weirdness abounds. On Thursday, I went to the grocery store to buy some vegetables. We were running low and well, we like vegetables. So, off I went to my trusty grocer- Wegmans (the best in the universe) to find a level of panic that I describe as Thanksgiving with 300 people meets a blizzard stuck in the same house for a month.  The grocery carts were stacked high, the shelves were pretty bare, 

PEOPLE- calm down. 

As I made my way through the store, the anxiety in the air filled my lungs. I could feel the panic in my fellow shoppers. I could see the disappointment on the pasta aisle when there was literally nothing to choose from.

I think my point is this. This is the time to be taking care of each other, NOT going bonkers and buying 39 boxes of pasta, 4 cases of toilet tissue, and 9 cases of water. I understand that there is uncertainty, that there is fear. However, I am also very aware that we need to take a step back, realize that we are in this together and slow the heck down. 

The Beatles song was ringing in my head all day today.  I have faith that this horrific situation will resolve and life will somehow return to a more comfortable place. I am also keenly aware that this might not be a very easy process, that it might be stressful and full of heartache. I DO believe, it will be better if we work together, and not separately.

Breathe… take good care of you and yours… wash your hands…let it be.
