We should be living in such a way that we encourage each other to living more and more for the well being of ourselves, each other, our fellow conscious beings (nonhuman animals) and the planet herself.

Don’t isolate yourself from others. I know, it’s easier, but we all (mostly anyway) need those bits of friction brought on by relationships to keep moving us deeper into lives of compassion.

We need to keep growing, even more intentionally, in order to be ready to lend a hand, especially in our pandemic times, when someone suddenly needs a hand/listening ear. (This is Jesus in ‘the least of these’.)

(My daily lectionary take: Hebrews 10:24-25)
