Younger people offering to go to the store to purchase groceries for the elderly in their neighborhood. People on Twitter offering to pay the bills of total strangers. Neighbors quarantined in Italy singing to each other from their balconies. Doctors and nurses daily putting themselves at risk and working tirelessly at the frontlines to save lives. Companies continuing to compensate their employees while their stores are closed so they can provide for their families. Yoga and exercise studios offering free online classes as an outlet and resource for everyone at home. Church services and virtual meditation offerings as a resource to cultivate community and mindfulness at a time when we need it the most.
Amidst the social distancing, I’ve chosen to see how we are showing up for each other in ways that are connecting us deeper than before. Together we will piece this world back together.
