We’re all very aware of our bodies. How’s my throat…my stomach…my head…my chest…my right pinky toe nail??
We ask each other how we’re feeling. A good habit which should be sustained. I do wonder though.
How different would this moment in time look if we didn’t have soooo many sources of media and so many ways to consume it? This steady force-feeding of (well meaning?) information… What if we were all crowded around our one set, getting news from one authoritative and responsible source?? It wouldn’t be all news-all-the time, maybe we wouldn’t know how and when Karen in Indiana contracted the virus or the death toll in Russia. But would we have more peace of mind?
Its the great equalizer. Senators. Tom Hanks–Mr. Nice. Idris Elba–Mr. Mashallah. (lol!) Both received this diagnosis: Covid positive. We should note that we’re all subject to His Will. We have the same amount of power over the wholeness and wellness of our lungs and pinky toes today as we did a few months ago. Which is to say relatively none. We’re all equally vulnerable. We’re all in the same gang.
This isn’t to say throw caution to the wind. By all means “have faith, and tie your camel”. Have faith and wash your hands and turn off the news for a while.
