Out of the ashes

Our world is in chaos, so many lives lost; fear, uncertainty and sadness everywhere. This virus is like a raging fire burning throughout our cities and towns. We have had to adapt to a new normal...staying at home, adjusting our lives and our routines.

When will it all end? No one knows, we have no control and no choice but to accept things as they are. The things we thought we so important in our daily lives don't seem as important anymore. There is no rushing around, we have to be still in our space. All that matters is our faith, our family, and our friends who are like family.

Amidst the uncertainty though we will rise from this as there must be an end. With science and knowledge the fire will be soon be put out. When we go through storms in our life, we don't get stuck in the storm, we persist until we come out of the storm, we change and we grow. Out of the ashes, our world will grow and we will grow. We will remember this lesson and work together to have a better world, one based on loving and caring for each other.

Despite the gravity of the situation, we have been given a great opportunity to reflect on our lives. How will we come out of this storm? How will we rise out of the ashes?
