A Thought Worth Considering
“You gotta have hope
Mustn’t sit around and mope…”
~From the song “You gotta have heart” from the show Damn Yankees
Questions Worth Asking
What gives you hope?
How are you finding gracious and satisfying ways to lay low?
How are you keeping spirits high?
How are you responding to others from across the way?
An Action Worth Taking
Keep exploring new and inspiring ways to lay low.
Keep exploring new and inspiring ways to keep your spirits high.
Keep discovering ways to reach out and connect deeply with others.
AND keep paying attention to what gives you hope.
Laying low.
Keeping spirits high.
These are today’s challenges
and opportunities.
This may be a time of physical distancing
but social distancing is something else
entirely not recommended.
Our yearning for deep connection
remains vital and uplifting
for both mind and spirit.
What gives me hope are all the ways
we are reaching out virtually
and touching one another
across the miles
with a “How are you?” and
“How can I help?” and a reverence
for listening each other through
this time of quarantine –willing
to insulate but not isolate.
What gives me hope are all the ways
we are singing to one another from across
the street or the stream or across
the phone wires and airwaves and
because of the blessing
of virtual chats and inspirational posts
we are cheering each other on
and responding to each other’s needs
as best we can.
Because we can do this.
Because we can.
Do this.

Great words of hope here,
I am very grateful for the intérêt and the technology that has enabled hope to keep spreading
“What gives me hope are all the ways

across the miles”
For hope is the lifeline that keeps you alive!
Hope is the ladder to climb after the fall…
Thank you so much for this beautiful message of hope.
Thanks Paula for the warm welcome. YES. Indeed. Hope is a lifeline. And a ladder out of the dark holes we tumble into from time to time.
Thank you Laura. For me, writing poetry is in itself a form of prayer. Thank you so much for such a warm welcome. I love all the ways you ENGAGE with LIFE. Your spirit shines through, even in this short message.
Beautiful, Minx. Thank you for these questions. Thank you for your words, thoughts, this poem that feels like a prayer in my heart. I continue typing words from love/mind centered on intellectual humility, listening, writing essays, poems, calling people on the phone, taking photos of beautiful nature here in the mountains and sharing these photos. I keep running, walking, dancing, cycling, meditating, showering in hot water. A warm welcome to the BizCatalyst360 community!!
