Fear is at the door.

We can choose to ignore it.

We can choose to confront it.

The irony of life is those that are the smallest have the most considerable courage, and the self-proclaimed best among us have no courage at all.

Our President, the captain of the ship of state, wanders the halls of the White House stroking his ego.

His officials under him run from answering truthfully about the wolf nipping at our heels.

Leadership comes from governors, mayors, local health officials.

This President and the GOP leadership are hobbled by their own hatred of self, which manifests itself into a hatred of humanity.

This is not the end of the world.

This is yet another chance for the world to come together and change its social-political-spiritual habits.

It is a moment to throw wide the door and let the breeze of truth blow out the darkness in our collective souls.

When trouble comes, it is then the mind focuses upon how much we need each other.

When darkness falls, we all join together and take comfort in the light of compassion.

This is a moment to realize deep down that life is about the "Now."

It is about living.

Life is not about saving for that end, that retirement, that last moment of existence.

That beyond the end of our lives; that's when our true life begins.

This life today not tomorrow is about the everyday texture, the ups, and the downs, that is what it means to live.

To live a life waiting for the next is to waste this one with a health dose of spite.

Irony teaches the humous in the juxtaposition of opposites.

How funny as death stands at the door, it can teach us so much about how to live.

We will live through this.

We will learn.

We will learn that compassion begins between you and me and spreads to touch all hearts even if they don't get it.

We will learn that love is the only power in this world that can conquer a disease.

Love is the only power that can conquer hate.

Take care of yourself and others, and know you are loved.

Peace
