That fact alone will make all the difference as to what we might have learned over these many months. I mean deep learning. Not things like, stock up on toilet paper or clean home living surfaces often. What I do mean is that there are a lot of lonely people out there and we need to get better at being friends and neighbors. We should have learned that the already marginalized were more likely to get Covid and more likely to die because our health care systems have some serious prejudices that need to be addressed. We should have learned that old folks need to be surrounded by holistic human caring. Covid has helped us to see that our climate crisis is a CRISIS!!!! That means we need to fall deeply in love with this good world again.
I hope we have been able to see that of all the hundreds of thousands of folks that died of Covid 19, the coffins were all relatively the same size. Not a one of them was able to take anything with them, so let us live as generously as possible. Live with compassion and empathy and stay open to learning more lessons. Despite all of its pain and loss, Covid can also be a gift if we open ourselves to receiving it.
