Clearing

Last night’s sky was so clear that I easily saw the Pleides and Orion’s Belt.

I know that at this moment, medical personnel are in harm’s way. Clerks are stocking grocery shelves. Truckers are barreling down highways and through neighborhoods to deliver what our lives need for sustenance. Financial advisors and business owners are absorbing stress. For all these, I pray for their safety and give thanks for their effort and dedication.

In my world, all is calm. My calendar is blank. No meetings. No must-have’s. I’m spending more time outdoors, paying attention to what the plants need, taking Teddy for regular walks, eliminating what is not necessary. Even in the midst of danger, I feel peace. That’s the power of clearing.

In the midst of all of this, how are you?
