Hey there, I just found this fantastic poem from 1869 that was reprinted during the 1919 pandemic. It’s truly timeless and so relevant to what’s going on in the world right now:
“Everyone stayed at home
Reading books and listening
Taking time to rest and exercise
Creating art and playing
Learning new ways of being
Pausing to listen deeply
Some meditated, some prayed
Confronting their inner selves
Thinking differently
Healing within and healing the Earth
When the danger passed
People grieved and made new choices
Dreamed of new visions
Creating new ways of living
And the Earth healed, just as they did.”
