A Beneficial Communion

I think you’d agree:

Our lives are enhanced 

when we live them 

alongside one another.

But, the COVID-19 pandemic 

hit us hard + unawares.

And the ‘self-quarantine’  or 

‘shelter-in-place’ restrictions 

that we experienced –

…were a spanner in those works.

(It’s actually still hitting some 

of us in varying degrees.)

We were forced to adapt.

So, in order to fortify 

each other’s lives –

…we had to lean-in + listen 

to each other remotely.

And I hoped we’d learned to be –

…less critical, more tolerant +

 peaceable people.

People that actually 

inspire + motivate each other.

I hoped -

…COVID-19 might lead us into a 

beneficial communion, of sorts.

Because I knew it could just be 

the making of us. 

Note one of the benefits 

you received from 

your online “communion”?

 

I value you + your views, 

so let’s communicate!
