A friend of ours K., sent this Praise Song for the Pandemic by Christine Valters Paintner, poet, hermit and mystic, who is the Abbess at the Abbey of the Arts, a global, online monastery for creative contemplatives. The piece is a contemporary Psalm for this time and is read for us in this wonderful video; a gratitude for the heroic and the ordinary.
“And when this has passed may we say that love spread more quickly than any virus ever could, may we say this was not just an ending but also a place to begin.”
