By Anonymous I would like to say that I have spiritual meaning to all the things I have experienced through this pandemic. But that would be a lie. I have tried to keep it all in perspective, and have definitely been able to that, most of the time. However, there have been times, many, over the last 7 months, that I have completely lost all faith in the system, in humanity, in everything. I suppose if I had been at work all this time, and keep my mind occupied with that, I wouldn’t have felt so overwhelmed by everything in the news; horrible displays of systemic racism, politicians who are liars and cheaters and full of themselves and full of s**t, social and medical systems that let “the people” down, and various other less potent issues. I’m not typically one to dwell on the negative, and every day I go for my quiet walk with my dog and find one thing that brings me joy. I try REALLY REALLY hard to focus on the positive, to find the perspective to acknowledge that I have it better than most. I have my health, I have my family, I have a home, I have food, I have heat, I have the community and I have my dog! Clearly I am of two minds – which is I guess how I keep on going. There’s all that negativity, and then there’s all that I’m grateful and thankful for. Hopefully one will calm the other and bring about some peace.
