Sometimes we walk through the world. We interact; we weave
our way between the lines, across the lines, intersecting with other human
beings. We drive cars, buy groceries, and go to work…
But once in a while we stop moving and the world spins
around us, blissfully unaware that we are still.
A crisis happens - in an
instant - and the world spins around us.
In these times we walk with great effort, one foot in front
of the other. That, in itself, is a monumental task when the world is spinning
so quickly around us. It is the best we can do, but the rest of the world,
spinning so fast, does not understand. We hold up traffic and raise the ire of
those who do not understand how painful it is, no matter how slowly, just to
move.
We will spin with the world again, but in these moments, we
are so thankful for those with compassion who take a moment to stop and notice
that we are struggling.
