With the unexpected
Mandatory isolations,
Arrives a resurrection
Of lifestyles of old.
Families gather
Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The elderly are watched over
With keenness and compassion.
The poor and homeless
Fed and sheltered.
Communities work
With united forces.
With efforts big and small
True mindfulness and consciousness
Regain strength and center stage.
Within the self
Something deep is touched,
Stirred and begs to rise
As another resurrection.
Stripped of the usual noise
Busy-ness and distractions,
There is an exposure
Of the decluttered self.
The self that knows consciousness
That feels the depth of gratitude
That recognizes the greatest love
Of the One who always cares.
With no concepts to cloud
And only a few and basic
Needs to be addressed,
The obvious is made clear.
The preciousness
Of the ultimate gift
Yet non-permanence
And fragility of life.
The question begged to be asked.
What is it that you resurrect?
Your goals and ambitions?
Your achievements and certificates?
Neither past nor future matter.
The unexpendable commodity
Is this moment now.
The frame of existence.
Resurrect your being
The qualities that enliven you
Not by what surrounds
But by what lays within.
Allow in this quiet time
Listening to the voice
Lost in the usual noise.
And resurrect what you know
You’ve always been.

So very true. We haven’t spent this much time with each other and ourselves since the kids were young. I’m not sure I wish to go back to the way things were.
