When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flocks, The work of Christmas begins; To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among people, To make music in the heart.

08.01.2022 Kitty O'Meara's wonderful poem of hope during this pandemic. She suggests that this time of social distancing could be filled with purposeful activity and result in a kind of global healing. It is the hope that something good can come out of this collective state of "together, apart". And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games,... and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed. - Kitty O’Meara See more
