Food for Thought
Janice sent this through from Michele Cranshaw, Editor of the Australian Women's Weekly, which she had included in the Editor’s Letter at the beginning of a recent publication.
“I'll leave you with this beautiful piece of writing from Kitty O'Meara:”
And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply.
Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger past, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.
Kitty’s prose poem, inspired by the coronavirus pandemic, has resulted in thousands of posts on Instagram, Twitter & You Tube.
