Out of Egypt With Grace

We get the news
the anxiety and science
the stats and predictions
much of it
each one of us and
on our own
in our present solitude and social isolation

What i am
curious
interested in is
how each of us is processing this experience
creating order inside
while the outside is in chaos

We can not control how Humanity as a whole will emerge
_not much has jolted over centuries so far in spite of similar repetitions every 100 years in history-
lives taken
loss of many experienced and mourned
but as Gandhi says
we can only start from ourself

What is this adversity/affliction/crisis doing to us
what path do we want to take
though our options
not clearly in sight
as we are still moving through it

Many gurus old and new _ and
In different contexts recommend practicing meditation
Meditation for the sake of coming to make more conscious decisions
Practicing more cautiously, wisely our right to make choices

Let us add awareness to the equation

While we are in it
We are not clear
We are but incapable to see beyond the now
Will we survive
what is what
where will we be taken to
What to be
who we want to emerge as

Let us pick up a flash light
a simple practice to lead the way in the darkness
to help us choose consciously and with awareness
each step of the way,
each thought,
each feeling we experience

It can pay off once we are out of this situation
– which we all know we subsequently will albeit as a whole

It is said ( possibly in the Bhagavad Gita):
you don’t even know of or recognize your courage
till right AFTER you have performed an act

My hope
My arrow pointed to the bull’s eye
that we all come to recognize
our wisdom
Our courage
Our higher consciousness and
With awareness
Once we are out of the bottle neck

It will not be a miracle if
In the meanwhile
and with all the challenges
we take every step,
NOT with fear anxiety and timidness but,
with as much awareness and Presence as we can muster

So help me, whoever might be in Charge
