Observing Earth Day and battling COVID-19 aren’t too far apart from each other. . Both require attention to be taken away from ourselves and placed on something else. This is a good thing to do. . It helps to realize our connection to each other, and our shared planet. That we’re all a part of something much large than ourselves. . Becoming more conscious and aware of this connection can open a whole new dimension, perspective and a way of doing more than just existing here. A decision to step in and help where one can becomes a non-issue and an automatic response. . So let’s do our part in both situations; lets all help to contain and understand this new threat to our lives; and at the same time that we’re becoming more aware of the virus, let’s also place awareness on our surroundings and our live. What is really needed and necessary and what no longer serves us. How we can live more simply, without so much stuff, and how we can lessen our footprints on the only home we share with so much other life. . The future is coming soon. .
