What is happening right now is truly astonishing. Overnight, we find ourselves confined to our homes due to the coronavirus pandemic. We watch helplessly as loved ones leave us, unable to say goodbye to them. Unable to hold their hands and hug them.
It is in the worst situations that we come together most as humanity. I have never experienced such a wave of solidarity. We feel the need to do something for others that comes from deep within, where the Love that we truly are resides. Requests for volunteers at NGOs have skyrocketed. We call our family and friends more than ever. And at 8 p.m., we join in the emotional neighborhood applause as a thank you and to continue reminding ourselves that together we will get through this.
This situation motivates us to rethink what it all means... what we are doing with our lives... whether we live based on what others will say or on authenticity... what we have stopped doing and would like to do from now on... what we are willing to change... how we would like to live the time we have left... where our strength lies... It is time to reflect, to question each and every one of our beliefs and to act accordingly.
We are becoming aware that other people's problems also have to do with us, since in essence we are One. We make up the countless faces of a great polyhedron whose core is Love.

Let us unite our hearts to usher in a new dawn in which social justice, solidarity, and peace reign supreme.
May we never forget this great lesson of Life.
