March 16: Quarantine and Nature

Schools, stores, bars, restaurants, museums, theatres - all closed.  We must keep to ourselves in our own homes.  Practice social distancing.  Two things I'm counting on to get me through are a daily yoga practice and a walk.  A walk around the block, a walk to the pond, a walk in the nearby woods, a walk in the Arboretum. 

Breathe fresh air, see the sky, hear the birds.....

Observe first signs of spring

Admire nature's sculptures...

And greet my fellow humans with a waive, a smile, a short (socially distant) exchange, that connects our spirits.

Stay well, stay connected.

Amen.
