Hugs in a Hug-less Time (Lisa)

Hugs in a Hug-less time

The slowing down

Empty calendars

Not looking past today

Rediscovery of cooking, walking, bicycling, gardening.

Sitting in the sun

Just being

And learning that it is enough

Seeing the invisible web that weaves all of humanity together

The saying of hellos and how are yous

The knowing smiles and gestures

As you

Step off sidewalks

Make wide berths

Miles between family piles on beaches

Giving air hugs in this hug-less time

Namastes

I see the God light within you and I honor it.

Distilling life down to the most important

Family life gets smaller so it can become broader again

Focusing on the one just next to you

First.

Appreciating all of life

Seeing heroes often missed

Behind cash registers

Driving brown trucks

Cheering heroes who need it most

Nurses and doctors and custodians and aides.

Getting back to what is essential

Faith. Love and Life

Be safe out there!

May we remember the joy inside the challenge and the holiness of it all…
