The majority of Earth citizens are now in a state of Fear. The planet has become silent, less planes in the air, less cars on the streets, no laughter to be heard, no new posts to read. Only a few trickle through.
Our governments have issued warnings, health guidelines and recommendations and more recently travel bans. Love ones and close friends are reaching out from near and far pretending to sound casual but their voice is different almost like a goodbye. Supermarket shelves are still full but we can hear talks of some preparing for the assault soon.
Some cancelling their trips, weddings and other celebrations. Some working remotely and others recoiling in their homes.
Some churches have stopped giving out communion, hugging and shaking hands. Even Holy water fountains has been emptied.
How long can we hold our breath for? Is this the new normal? Is this Pandemic teaching us to become unsociable and in a constant state of fear. Afraid to express our joys and not planning for a too distant future. Even some banks are only giving out short loans now, just in case you don’t make it
This is the stuff Hollywood has thrilled us with for decades with films like World war Z and 2012 just to name a couple.
Yes, casualties their will be, to the scale of these recent wars and bombings we have become desensitized to over the years. We change the channels so easily these days because it doesn’t really pertain to us. But this enemy is silent, invisible and non political.
Fear depletes our energy and immune system remember that
This is the time for Mindfulness, renewed Faith, Love, Kindness to others and Belief that we will get through this like we always do
We can do this 💚
