Is It OK To Feel OK?

Dear Yuri

You would’ve seen for your own eyes that the world spins and it’s still spinning. Every morning the birds are still singing, the plants are still growing and the rivers are still flowing. Not much has changed for Mother Earth but humanity has had a much needed, wake up call.

Please don’t misunderstand, when I ask is it OK to feel OK? The loss of life is horrific & the sadness of not being able to see & hold those we love, can be unbearable at times. However, when the sun shines you watch a calm from your window. You hear the silence of a more tranquil time and a little part of me can’t help but enjoy this existence. The daily pressure of commuting, the constant interaction, the speed of everything needed to be done yesterday can be unbearable. It’s never felt more positive to stop, breath, smile and listen, truly listen to what mother nature is trying to tell us.

Together we wish for some normality and couldn’t be more grateful & proud for those key workers that put us first. We long for unity with our loved ones but maybe it’s OK to enjoy some unity in the fact that we’re all in this together and the World will be OK. It will still spin & humanity will survive this. There are of course days for all of us when sadness & fear creeps in but maybe we should also be sad & fearful that society will return to the chaos it once was.

So, when I ask is it OK to feel OK, I hope you have a chance to ask the same question and understand what I mean.
