It is difficult these days of being sequestered, hiding from a tiny virus. Our lives are “different” now, and we don’t always do well with change. The days drone on and on—is it easing?…oops no, it’s still here…and getting worse. So in the midst of these Covid Days, I am led to share a bit of my journey and perhaps find a virtual companion in you as we travel it together. I do pray that you are well and that those you love have not been harmed by this illness.

Remember that Yusef has been called to the “higher heavens to hold humanity in Love.” Now we may have a sense of why. His task is a big one and I am thankful that God has offered us help in that way. I love the idea of Yusef praying for US! Wisdom is with us now and will hopefully offer us some words as we go.

It has been a roller coaster ride for me. On the up days I am prayerful, trusting, finding ways to connect with others and occupy myself—though not always “productive.” 🙂 On the days when I’m in the trough of the ride I find it difficult to connect with God—consumed with the feeling of lack of control, and worried for my loved ones. It is a feeling I recognize as fear. So I beg for the Grace to let go of the fear, and return to TRUST—that wonderful, all encompassing, fearless, I-am-in-the-care-and-presence-of-the-Divine feeling.

Letting go is what this time is teaching me. Letting go of the need to control my life. Letting go of my very human fears (that seem to increase as the number of cases increase). And finally, giving my small human self back to God in Trust—freeing me to experience the joy of God’s love!

With Trust comes the Grace to let go of worries and concerns. Or is it Grace that brings me back to Trust in God again? Falling into the abyss of God’s never-ending Love. The place I never want to be apart from.

To be able to say with Julian of Norwich,

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
