Spreading good will to all

This week’s practice is about reflecting on this week’s quote. “We can’t control the wind, but we can adjust our sails.”

In these unprecedented and trying times, we need to do what we humans do best: adapt. We need to find ways to return to thriving while keeping ourselves, our loved ones and our community protected as much as possible.

Yes, the words are easy. The practice, not so much.

We will find ways to socialize and work in ways that reduce the likelihood of exposure for ourselves and others. This week, anytime you feel overwhelmed by the frustration of your circumstances, reflect on the quote and ask yourself “what can I adjust to make this better?” Take some time and explore the internet for ideas from others who are making adjustments. Offer your own ideas up to a broader community for vetting and to spark additional ideas in others.

We will overcome. Because we will adapt.
