What COVID19 has given us and not taken away from us Part III

How is everyone doing today?
 
Over the weekend, I spoke with friends that 'virtually' shared Easter/Passover/other celebration meals, usually a time for family gathering that includes travel. A tradition that has been changed – I say ‘changed’, not ‘broken’ or negative words- in both senses, not being able to travel or gather in lieu of preventing the spread of #covid19 we are all fighting.
 
In addition to this change, the ‘news’ on continuing staying at home with no end date in sight are also part of that ever-change in which we are living in, a moving target.
 
This constant uncertainty about ‘what we are going to do next’, being ‘next’ the future, made me think, ‘where is the future?’ But not in a fatalistic way at all. Rather in a way that I possibly didn’t (ever?) look at the future before. The future is tomorrow. The future is this evening. The future is the upcoming hour, the upcoming minute.
 
Because we do not know, whether we are going to be able to travel, or gather or -fill in the blank- in the next months, we can see that Future is Now. Future is Day by Day, Future is Here. An optimistic mantra for all of us, especially when until now, in this fast paced society, we have certainly not valued our Here and Now, centering, meditative, staying present that we – from a Wellbeing perspective- should cultivate.
 
More than ‘the new normal’, we are living in ‘the new future’.

Let’s do what we can do today … #Today.
 
Stay safe, folks!
