Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, the one day of the year…
Be Kind and Sunday Afternoon Delight!
Sat Nam,
How is everyone feeling?
The vibe here in Sydney is becoming more intense as we head into another four weeks of lockdown.
Regardless of where people stand on all points of this pandemic the one thing we all have it common is the uncertainty of this situation and that we are all scared.
This is a tough time. People are suffering and struggling for all different reasons and it’s a time to come together as a community to support each other with kindness regardless of differing views.
Ram Das says in the face of uncertainty and fear people gravitate either of two ways. They will go nuts on buying (toilet paper!) or they will pick the side they believe to be “good or right” and condemn those who they believe to be “wrong or bad” in order to bring back the feeling of control, certainty and that they will be safe. He says this creates a divide and the only way to come together through fear and uncertainty as a community is through compassion.
I’ve been down the rabbit hole of anger and fear and I get it that it is hard to show compassion when the situation is dire and you’re scared. But I also know that the anger and fear left me feeling like shit, didn’t help the situation and really only hurt me more because it was my body, my mental health, my spirit and my relationships it was affecting.
So I work on being compassionate, understanding that everyone is scared and they are projecting their fears based on their own situation and experience.
I’m working on listening to other peoples point of view instead of immediately discounting them as wrong if they don’t align to mine. I’m working on respecting other people’s decisions whilst deciding for myself what’s best for me. I’m working on not being judgemental because everyone has their own experience of this pandemic. Most of all I am working on being kind and sharing my views with respect and from my heart. And if all else fails I’m working on being neutral because adding my angry tinder to an already volatile fire only creates more fire and doesn’t help.
The one certainty we do have is nothing stays the same and this too shall pass. When it does I hope we come out of this as a community who can look back proud of the character we revealed of ourselves through this time.
