Coronavirus on the big, global screen and decluttering on my private mental-emotional screen.
I’m surprised that both have an existential quality to them.
And both ask me to recalibrate and reset.
Decluttering forces me into the present, with a mix of attachment, love and incredulity for the stuff (photos, documents, books, DVDs…) that I once considered important from my past….nostalgically considering if it will be part of my future.
Then there’s Covid-19 at every turn, as if pleading with me to consider gifts such as: health, connection, interdependence, impermanence. “If the shock of coronavirus disruption isn’t enough for us to recalibrate, what will be?” *
Finding opportunities to feel a whole spectrum of emotions…angst, tenderness, sadness, joy, thankfulness.
And then decide for what I want.
