A Foretaste

It is so easy and absolutely understandable that during times such as they are, many may feel lost, uninspired, fearful, insert your own adverb here. These feelings are not unusual, nor are folks alone in feeling them.

However, if we take time to think about the beauty that has shown its face in wonderful and unexpected places, we are reminded of our humanity. When we are more aware of the goodness that surrounds us, we show gratitude. When we find joy in the regular rhythms of the day, we re-engage with life. When we find creative ways to help others, we become community. When we take the time to notice the gift of nature, we experience hope.

So, when this particular time in history is in our rear-view mirror, hopefully, we will recognize that ‘these times’ are a wonderful foretaste of what can be when we get to the other side.
