ET OPMUNTRENDE DIGT TIL OS I HUSARREST
Det skal ikke være trist og bekymrende altsammen - heller ikke hvad coronaen angår. En amerikansk pensioneret lærer i Wisconsin, Kitty O'Meara, har skrevet et digt om og til os, der nu skal holde os hjemme. Digtet er lynhurtigt spredt over hele verden - med endnu større hast end virussen. Jeg synes, I også skal have det her. Der er meget nyttigt og tankevækkende i det digt:
And the People Stayed Home.... ~ 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 passed, and the people joined together again,
they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images,
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 passed, 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.
