In Close Quarters

Dearest Blog Readers,

Time has begun to feel blurred as we are kept at home. Desperate measures are called for——like being polite to your family! We start the day with good intentions and then tend to slide into sullenness.

We go over our stock of supplies, not knowing when another grocery run will be made or how long items will last until we can go again.

There are things we could do, but the ennui is taking hold. We just look around rooms that could be cleaned and sigh, knowing that we will get around to it eventually.

As far as spirituality, I am reading through certain books of mine again. Using truth in love is the only chance we have of growth during this pandemic. It is always in abundant supply.

Once the sun comes out again, everyone will pour outdoors. I saw my neighbors sitting in our cul-de-sac the other day. I was not inclined to join them, being the oldest person in the neighborhood.

I take walks when others are not taking theirs. Everyone has good intentions but poor memories!

I made another talk before this virus hit big-time and I will upload it.

For now, be kind to those in close quarters with you….

Love,

Vicki

  1. Hi Vicki,

    I re-read your article and the paragraph (below) as if by magic appears to have taken on an entirely different meaning.

    ‘There are things we could do, but the ennui is taking hold. We just look around rooms that could be cleaned and sigh, knowing that we will get around to it eventually.’

    You mention boredom taking hold but rather than saying: I will get around to it eventually, (be it cleaning the rooms or taking a closer look at how I could change the way I experience life) I could choose to do it now, then, abracadabra!,-the boredom and dissatisfaction disappears.

    I mean, exactly what am I waiting for, that’s what needs looking at?

    (For example, am I waiting for the spread of Coronavirus to stop and then I’ll breathe a sigh of relief and return to my usual ways, which, if I’m honest, brings with it that underlying boredom. What would happen if I started to explore ‘truth in love’— I’m not going to wait.)

    Thank you. 💕
