Hey readers. With all of the things changing around us, I wanted to write a piece encouraging you to be aware, informed, and most of all, kind. This is a critical time to do what you would want someone else to do for you. It also means to stay in the know and be diligent with staying current on the information surrounding this epidemic. I hope this causes people to look at what the world needs from us. No matter environmentally or humanly, this is a turning period of everyone. Stay safe and positive. Much love to you all.

Although it seems confusing

I sense a change indeed

The world is flipping and turning

To a pace I'm not used to

The people around me understand less

Against vast amounts of progress

Yet, this is the critical time

To not only 'tap into,'

But pay attention to mankind

It starts by being kind

It starts by some of your time

It can begin whenever you'd like

But you have to want it

The wind seems so quiet

Just like the streets beneath it

The panic has set in

And now, we can't conceive it

Our thoughts are overrun by

'What if's' and 'how's'

I just wish truly

We stick together in a time

Where what we do can be

Our undoing or crowing glory

Someone out there needs to be heard

Another person needs to be seen

Those who cannot be shut in

Give them the most tender heart

But also the upmost consideration

It's funny how comfortable we become

When things stay in routine

Now, is the time to give

Learn

Understand

Grow

Respond

While we all may feel what we can do it small

The results are bigger than we can imagine

Diligence brings way to a complete picture

May we feel this all around

May we be aware of everything

May we be grateful

But not in denial

For time stops for no one

And reality doesn't go back

Be kept in peace and knowingness

That's where we truly begin to

Cure what we find that we lack
