Yesterday, amidst all the news …

about the coronavirus and hearing people panicking about almost everything, I decided to stand under the flowering plum tree and gaze at the color, the blooms, the beauty. I took three deep breaths, reminded myself that so many things are right, are neutral, are good. For instance, the flowers themselves. The color pink. The softness of a dog’s tongue. The fact there are dogs! Notice — this is one of my favorite questions — what isn’t wrong. Everyone has at least ten things that aren’t wrong right now. Name them for yourself. Watch yourself breathe deeper, easier. We could all use the ease right now. And you could be the one who radiates it.
