Love in the Days of the Corona Virus
Love in the days of Corona – is to do with the study.
Many religious authorities use this time to scare and coerce people into belief. Moreover, they are using this time into saying “therefore, you need to do what I am telling you”. It seems that anyone using this path stands within a very deep misunderstanding of the offer of the time. No one can say they can fully understand the scope of what is happening, but there are a few things we can ponder upon without jumping into conclusions.
The first this calls us to pause and wonder.
This is the starting point. It is making a pause on the habitual systems of our lives in many respects, but also stresses a deep question into the meaning of separation and isolation.
Do we choose it? Do we impose it upon ourselves anyhow? Do we understand our role in the fabric of humanity, and how we use/misuse the fabric?
The study, and looking into oneself, is part of the allowance of this time. What is polluting, what is promoting – definitely between ourselves. There is a possibility to look at what we invest, in what we call our leisure – our time, what is possible for us to see as important…but not because it will end and we will go back to the same. Going back to same will only inviting something of the same nature, or even worse.
This is a gift to us, so we can look into what we don’t want to give up.
What kind of ties and what kind of mutualities. For what reasons is it important to gather, and what is risking something for no reason? What is a lifeline, for many people for many reasons, and what do we call important, but presents itself as fable and contains the tendency to break when it isn’t important?
It is an offer. It is very very gentle one.
The best we can do at this time is study from a different place of importance and interest. It is a time that creation speaks to us, and I would say we better listen or study the language.
It is an act of love, of the part of the Creator to us.
Hoping you would come to terms to this language of endearment – which isn’t easy to adopt, but it is possible.
