These are the times of the virus
People are suffering day in, day out
Oop! Nothing to do with outside
Outside is a myth
It’s all day in, an hour by hour
And as it is all ‘in’ and ‘indoors’
Let’s try to go more ‘into’ ourselves
And this is how we’ll be able to fight this time
This new challenge is to keep ourselves calm and at peace
It cannot be done by focusing our energy on the external stuff
As it is beyond our control
This time around, we’ll have to go within
Learn about our habits and patterns
And thoughts and ideas
And try to accept them
Try to give a different narrative
To this entire external situation
And that is how we can be in peace
We can live in the moment
We can amor fati (love our fate)
We can momento mori (death is inevitable)
And we can stay calm and smiling
Maybe this virus lead us here indirectly
But now as we are here
Let’s try to make the best use of this
And come out with flying colors
And when things become better
We’ll definitely get chance to experience
The external factors again 🙂
P.S.: This week’s song is How to be me by Ren & Chinchilla. I hope you’re taking proper care and trying to stay safe. Prayers and smiles to you all. Ping me, if you want to talk and share your experience. ‘Amor fati‘ and ‘Momento mori‘ are concepts of Stoicism.
Smiles here & Smiles there
