I think many of us are experiencing a lock-down. I am not sure why they call it lock DOWN and not lock UP.
It feels a bit like being locked up in our own place. But still, my friends we can really make the best of it.
In the area around where we live, there may be a piece of beautiful nature. Or maybe a few trees with beautiful crowns? Or maybe just the amazing skies above our head.
If we get a bit stressed out about being locked up or locked down, this is exactly what can help us.
Just imagining a wonderful place in nature, and in our imagination,not only seeing it, but also feeling the breeze and smelling the air and hearing the birds, will give us an experience of peace and a certain happiness.What we imagine has the same or very similar effect on our moods like being there .So let us keep looking on the positive side.
We can take this as an opportunity to pray more, to meditate more, to strengthen our imagination, to appreciate the peace in our home and around our home more, to love more, to send some lovely messages to the people who may suffer more of the lock down than ourselves.
We can this opportunity to to enjoy the beauty of our own surroundings,to really make our own garden or street pristine clean and enjoyable to develop creative approaches to many things.
Imagine for awhile we are locked down, or locked up in paradise. And the time may fly faster towards the end of this pandemic...
