"and still I rise"

"We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other-" -- Pope Francis

We fall we break we fail
But then
We rise we heal we overcome

When l wake up in the morning time
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
Just one look at you
And I know it's going to be a lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day.....
Bill Withers. Rest in Peace. Thank you for the music.

“Even if we’re not infected, the crisis is affecting our lives and loved ones in other ways such as connectivity, work, or physical and mental health. Beauvoir describes humanity as like stones in an arch: the healthier the stones, the healthier the arch. While our global arch is compromised by pandemics, it is strengthened by being generous, caring for the vulnerable, and supporting one another.” Skye Cleary

"Life is but what you deem it. "
- Marcus Aurelius.

And so it is the hope that we can bring about what we want for ourselves. But life gets in the way of that. Live as good as we can, the best that we can. I love this old wisdom but it is sure hard to put it into practice .
Take care. Dawn

Thanks May. Good gem.?

"You cannot awaken (become aware) in your comfort zone. You can only awaken out of your comfort zone. This is a time for opportunity. Use it. What looks bad has actually an essential purpose. "

Less to do these days. Maybe too much time to think. Not so good. Trying to put good things into my mind and yes there is everything to be curious about. Literally everything.
Take care today.
