Greetings Dear Reader,
I must confess that I am surprised that I am surprised at the
response to the Coronavirus. If you had
told me a week ago that people would be panic buying toilet paper, I would have
expressed greater confidence in my fellow travelers. I even expressed this to some friends, thinking
that people would ignore it. To my chagrin,
I was very wrong.
If I had considered it, we have been training to be fearful
and panicked by this. Our fiction and
our fears have honed our ability to react in ways that are not the best. We have taught ourselves to be led by our fears
through our politics and entertainment.
We rush to react instead of thinking and responding.
With schools closing and events being canceled, we have an
opportunity to slow down. We have the chance
to reconnect, unplug, and touch down in our lives in ways that we have not in a
long while. Since I have spent most of
the last year doing this anyway, I wish to ponder how I can improve my walk
with you during this time Dear Reader.
I hope you will walk with me and share how you are going to
make this time meaningful for you and yours.
Perhaps together we can turn reactions from fear into responses of
faith. The journey is about the one we
follow and loving each other along the way.
Fear and panic have no place.
Let us slow down a little and see if we can gain some permanent changes
that better suit our lives. As always, I
treasure your thoughts and questions.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
