Emotional, spiritual and compassionate preparation

[Neome]

I am grateful for the preppers board and the thoughtful sharing of information.

I am grateful for those sharing their worries which helps me to consider how I manage my own.

I am grateful for the challengers who remind me to critically examine my assumptions.

I want to take a moment to think of all those in Wuhan who are sick or anxious. To remember Dr Li Wenliang and all the healthcare workers there.

I want to send my compassionate thoughts to everyone directly affected by COVID19. Prayer and preparation mean such different things to different people. My imperfect faith understands prayer as holding people and situations in the light.

In every moment of human history there has been fear and suffering and, I believe, love, stewardship and courage.

I hope to make today as good as possible for my family and those around me and be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Best wishes to all.

Thank you BuddhaAtSea

Your name made me think about limitless compassion and while I was writing this reply I read this article from samyeling by Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche and fell into a peaceful sleep.

@Neome I’m so sorry to hear this has happened to you. Can’t be near a loved one when they need us most can be so hard. I’m here for you if you need to talk. Always remember wherever your loved one is they will always watch over you. Take care x
