I am overwhelmed...
...not with fatigue, or fear or stress.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
In the space of these last few days I saw the best in us. I just finished watching the Mayor of Boston's live address (March 17, 2020). It was incredible and hopeful. It was presidential. It was human.
In these days of crisis, I have seen individuals offer help, civic, medical and community resources work hard, companies provide support, politicians work together and remove red tape, industries band together. In an apocalyptic scenario, we are not collapsing. We are rising. We are banding together. We are leading well. We are being...human...the best in us...working together to find hope, find solutions, express love.
I am amazed by the community I am in, those near and far, those on our street and across the globe, at how we are working together in this time.
My prayer...
"Lord, may the best in us continue to outgrow the crisis we face, the limits we endure and the pain we suffer as You work to bring a cure. Lord, release this curse from us, but leave it's blessing...a united humanity working in love."
