Captivated Me

Hang in there, world.
We can do this.

We will get through this.
It is not easy – There is proof of this already.
There are fears and tears and losses and unknowns.
There are unprecedented (and very important) precautions in place.
Please remember, no matter what comes,
We do not carry with us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love.
There is strength in our families, our friendships, our neighborhoods, our hearts.
There is bravery in our homes, our grocery stores, our hospitals, our businesses, our communities.
There is joy in our crafting, our playing, our laughing, our dancing, our singing, our virtual gatherings.
There is space for both our toughness and tenderness, our courage and caution, our fierceness and fears, our grit and grace, our calm and concern in this season.
There is hope, evident by the kindnesses being multiplied throughout the globe each day, even in moments when nothing but hard news seems to prevail.
