Let us take this time,
This forced but necessary stillness,
To reconnect.
With our family, our friends, and our selves.
Our schedules are being wiped clear.
Let’s embrace it.
Don’t fear the empty space,
Fill it with what can’t be cancelled.
These times are scary,
But across the globe we are all
Walking the same uncharted path.
There is peace to be found in the solidarity.
There is love and grace to extend
To those who are isolated or hurting.
Our every day lives as we know them are a world away,
But even in this time there is good to be found.

Let us take this time,
This forced but necessary stillness,
To reconnect.
With our family, our friends, and our selves.
Our schedules are being wiped clear.
Let’s embrace it.
Don’t fear the empty space,
Fill it with what can’t be cancelled.
These times are scary,
But across the globe we are all
Walking the same uncharted path.
There is peace to be found in the solidarity.
There is love and grace to extend
To those who are isolated or hurting.
Our every day lives as we know them are a world away,
But even in this time there is good to be found.
