New Beginnings Amid Covid 19

Today, April 7th, 2020, is my 25th day of self sheltering amid the Coronavirus Pandemic which has hit the world.

I have been doing my part by isolating myself , practicing social distance on the rare trips to the grocery store and praying for humanity.

As many, Thanks to technology, I have been able to stay connected with my loved ones and enjoy various activities both mental as well as physical while in isolation.

Just now, I received a wonderful image which touched my heart and I want to share it.

My childhood friend Lina, whom I have known since we both were nine years old, just sent me this photo. In November, when I left Sicily and returned to the USA, I left this Orchid plant, bare at that time, with Lina.

Today, thousands of miles across the ocean from Sicily, I receive this beautiful image of OUR orchid blooming.

As I enjoy this beauty, it represents for me a symbol of all of our lives which WILL bloom to New Beginnings!
