What if you thought of it
as the Jews consider the Sabbath—
the most sacred of times?
Cease from travel.
Cease from buying and selling.
Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down.

And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives
are in one another’s hands.
(Surely, that has come clear.)
Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch.

Promise this world your love--
for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health,
so long as we all shall live.

PS

Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Don't touch your face.

and.....

unless you are critical infrastructure (front line medical, emergency services, utilities, grocery, pharmacy)

Turning off the news...local and national...is one of my solutions.....

yep.
I am listening to loud music and going through papers and binge cleaning on my day off.

confession though... I keep checking the JohnsHopkins dashboard... at least once a day. *smh*
the exponential curve on this thing is terrifying for me as a front-line healthcare worker.
