$Pandemic Spirit Medicine ✨💕 We don't stop at much in our culture. Not just our culture, the global culture. We're on one track, the go track. And many, if not most, would say we need to slow down. We're also in a trend toward more and more isolation; particularly of our elderly, differently-abled and others needing care. Lewis Mehl-Madrona writes, "culture heals." In his books, he talks about how human contact and a sense of shared connection through story and other cultural forces can heal people, sometimes miraculously and without explanation. At first, I felt triggered by the currently encouraged isolation and social distancing - seeing it as another pull toward this already rampant trend that fractures, separates and perpetuates ill health. I still see the potential for that, but I also see something else. I see a global society mobilizing over the same cause and looking out for one another, caring deeply. ✨ We have to be pushed to evolve. When I think of the things that have caused massive societal mobilization in the past 100 years, it has been war, terrorism and gun violence. Here we are, humbled, literally stopped, by the non-human. As we try desperately to control this virus, I find myself contemplating the beautiful adage, "everything happens for a reason." Despite the devastation and suffering being caused, are we also being given a gift of another sort? An opportunity to be pushed to evolve? If we tried to see the Coronavirus in this way, what might we find? ✨ Here's a related tangent - thoughts from my morning walk: While a mad dash to gather gloves and face masks may have put a temporary hiatus on many's best intentions to reduce, reuse and recycle I am reminded of another effort that begs global mobilization - climate change. In World War II the US practically mobilized overnight to bring communities together and educate about resource preservation and how to build resourcefulness into everyday life (think victory gardens). We need this kind of mobilization to tip the trend on climate change and it is going to require the whole world. CONTINUED IN COMMENTS BELOW...💕$
