COVID-19 JOURNAL #8 PANDEMIC OF THE SPIRIT The one thing that will make the change … There is only one thing that will bring about the change for which protestors around the world are calling. All the shouting, chanting, blocking traffic, lying on the ground, fighting, arguments on this side and that, even emerging agreements and amicable accords between opposing parties—and even the institution of new social-economic provisions for equal treatment—will not bring about the ultimate change for which we are crying. Unless, that is, unless and until, we are hooked up with the source of the kind of justice we want—just, caring, honest, compassionate, respectful and democratic treatment by and for every human being, everywhere. The shorthand name for that source is Love. Unconditional, irreversible, unchanging and implicit love, in and for every human person. Another shorthand name for that source is God. God is love. And the reason for being hooked up to this source is that we are not. Not God. Not Love. Not unconditional. Not unchanging—clearly. We have had shouting and chanting, looting and non-violent protesting, and great leaders pleading the cause of justice with compassion and integrity before. I was there. I was listening. I heard it with my own ears, huddling around a small TV with a black family in their living room on the 10th floor in “the projects” in New York City’s Lower East Side, August 28, 1963, watching Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking live from the March on Washington: “One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. . . . “There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. . . . “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’. . . I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. . . . “And when this happens, and when we allow freedom [to] ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: ‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!’ ” * Electrifying truth. Broadcast loud and clear on the National Mall over a crowd of 250,000 people. Now, almost 60 years later, has King’s dream come true? Why not? One reason and one reason only. It is not complicated, though we might like it to be. In spite of decades of endless talk and accusation and guilt and argument and outrage and protest, and the eloquence of many distinguished leaders—where’s the dream? What’s missing? What’s missing is everyone. Every single person on the planet coming from one core reality. Until this takes place, there is, and will always be, division. A rift. Me vs you. And with that division comes all the ills among human beings all across the world, without exception. We can, and perhaps should, celebrate our differences—differences in our individual personalities, gifts, ways, humor, service, ideas, creativity, etc., and in our cultures, insofar as those cultures are built upon that core reality (none at the moment are.) But unless those differences rest on the deeper core commitment within each individual soul, the peace, justice, equality and unity we want cannot, by definition, obtain. By definition because universal peace and justice require unity of purpose and action, based on universal recognition of our “created” human equality. And that we do not have. The slogan “We’re all in this together,” inspired by the global Corona pandemic, acknowledges our unity in the face of a common enemy. We are united in opposition to a deadly, insidiously contagious virus that has already sickened more than seven million people and killed more than 400,000 people on the planet—and continues to ravage the human community. But the slogan is equally apt for the newly risen global uprising in the wake of the murder of George Floyd—an involuntary sacrificial lamb bringing to the world’s attention the reality of man’s inhumanity to man—in the present case, highlighting the long-standing inhumanity perpetrated upon human beings with skins of any other color but white. The fact that we are all in this state of inequity together means, with obvious logic, that we are all involved in the need to change it. How? What is the one thing? What is the “core reality?” Not complicated. But perhaps difficult, maybe even excruciating for many, because of the deep internal change required to effect it. In a recent response to the “pandemic of the human spirit,” as he rightly called it, Bishop Michael Curry said the following: “But there's another pandemic, not of the viral kind, but of the spiritual kind. … It is a pandemic of the human spirit, when our lives are focused on ourselves, when the self becomes the center of the world and of the universe. It is a pandemic of self-centeredness. … “And that pandemic is the root cause of every humanly created evil that has ever been made. Every war that has ever been fought, every bigotry, every injustice, every wrong that has ever been wrought. Anytime a human being has hurt another human child of God directly or indirectly, explicitly or implicitly, at the root cause is me being the center of the world and you on the periphery. . . . Love is the antidote to that. Love is the cure for that. Love is what can help us remove that way of living and establish a way of life where we find life for us all. “This past week, we have not only had to endure a pandemic occasioned by a virus, a viral pandemic, but we've had to endure and face a spiritual pandemic. The roots of self-centeredness where one person can look upon another person and despise and reject them, and not even behold them as a fellow child of God. . . .” The bishop spoke about the killing of George Floyd as “a violation of basic human decency and dignity,” citing the names of eight other victims of police brutality. “This is a painful path that we have been on for a long time,” he added, observing that despite advances in racial relationships, “this seems not to have changed at all.” He spoke at length about the difficulties inherent in our longstanding system of inequity, but encouraged all to seek to realize what Christ taught. “And this Jesus taught us that love will make a way out of no way.” “If I make room for you, and you make room for me, and if we will work together to create a society where there is room for all of God's children, where every human being, every one of us is treated as a child of God, created in the image and likeness of God, where everybody is loved, everybody is honored, everybody is respected, everybody is created as a child of God. If we work together to build that kind of society and don't give up, then love can save us all.”** While there is an almost endless number of issues that must be addressed and rectified world-wide in the coming months (and years), until and unless this necessary condition is met, the rest will never be untangled and set right. And this condition is a joy—such a joy to experience. The most beautiful moment I have witnessed in these past few weeks of turmoil—a brief but brilliant glimpse I caught on the news—was a scene showing the police in all their blue regalia and the protesters in their jeans and bandanas, everybody masked, dancing together—in perfect unity, fun, freedom, and joy. It happened somewhere in Nebraska. And it was so obvious, just dancing the Cupid Shuffle (aptly enough)—even if only for that moment—everybody was as one. No concepts needed. No cumbersome belief systems in play, no political machinations going on—just human beings, fully alive, dancing together. That was a moment of exactly what I am talking about. The one thing. The core reality. The moment everybody in the human community around the globe is in that core reality is the moment when all these issues will be no more. They’ll evaporate just like smoke. Housing will be cleaned up. There will be no more exploitation. No more oppression. Rather than competition there will be cooperation. Rather than destruction there will be creativity and construction. Rather than suspicion and fear and guilt, there will be ease and love and respect. And joy!*** Picture it. Can’t hurt. Might help. * Martin Luther King, Jr., March on Washington “I Have a Dream” speech, August 28, 1963 https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm ** Michael J.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC JOURNAL #9 OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR AND THE RHODE ISLAND HEALTH DEPT I would appreciate receiving specific answers to the following concerns, as I have both written and called about the issue of senior housing and health care workers coming into the buildings and the apartments. Thus far, although I continue to listen to the governor and the doctor at every briefing, I have heard no mention about this specific concern. I am a senior with underlying medical conditions. I am increasingly concerned, as everyone in this apartment complex is over 60, most in their 70s and 80s, many with underlying conditions. I do appreciate the intensely committed efforts of the governor and her team, and of Dr. Alexander-Scott and the Health Department’s team, in dealing with this deadly virus and with the public. They have been patient, informative, honest, and thoroughly professional in addressing the people of RI, while doing all they can to serve all sectors of the population—kids and school, nursing homes and assisted living, employers, employees, etc. However, not to voice my concerns at this point would be negligent on my part, even though I would rather simply be doing my own work. In addition to my above concern re senior housing, I have another critical concern: the increasing noncompliance of others which is literally threatening my life—along with the lives of many, many others. Per your recent briefing, Governor, your “anger” is not going to deter the types of people who don’t give a damn. Neither is mine. The only thing that reaches these selfish types is enforcement, unfortunately. They are also not the type to be sitting here listening to you saying, “follow the rules,” or saying anything else, frankly. They are listening only to themselves. Unfortunately also, I fully realize you have had to work in the context of Trump’s shameful lack of leadership and reckless approach to the pandemic, which continues even as the cases and deaths are now surging. I, too, am angry, furious—increasingly so, on the few occasions I venture out for food and supplies.When I can, I use pick-up services, but can’t always. Every time I go into a retail store, I run into the few I-could-care-less people waltzing into the store with no mask on or in hand, stores with clear signs saying masks must be worn. And then there are the much more numerous instances of people with face coverings leaving their noses uncovered, some even half off their mouths—a Job Lot employee told me recently he sees “about twenty a day” of these nose-exposed types. PLEASE hammer home the right way to wear a mask and the reason for doing it. In a local Stop and Shop last week I spoke to the day manager about a young woman with her young son who were tooling around the store with no mask on either of them—not only potentially exposing others but also teaching her boy the kind of disrespect she herself was displaying. The manager said that her “understanding from the governor” is that she can “suggest, but not withhold services” to anyone for not wearing a mask. WHAT?!? No business would dream of allowing shirtless or shoeless customers into their stores—and being without a shirt or shoes does not pose a deadly threat. But to ask noncompliant people to leave the store in the face of a deadly pandemic is, what—not politically correct? I saw the recent photo of at least nine police officers congregating closely together at the Columbus statue site, laughing and smiling, not one with a face covering. Wow. If even the police are going to practice (and model) noncompliance—who will we get to do any enforcement, when and if you put some teeth into the “mandates” or “rules”? Whether people bother to understand what this virus is and how it sickens and kills or not, they will readily understand a FINE for exposing others to their “droplets” by entering into stores and facilities without proper protection for everyone there. At age 74, with an underlying condition, I stay at home in my apartment as much as possible, but I do not feel safe even here in my home. Here, there are several residents who do not wear face coverings, who regularly sit quite close to one another in the common areas (e.g., the smoking area outside, the lobby-and-mail-box area, and the corridors everyone must use to get to the mail, the trash chute, and the laundry rooms) such that others who have to get to these common areas must pass right in front of them. Management knows this, and has supplied masks to everyone, but “has no jurisdiction” over the noncompliant. Moreover, there are workers who come in and out of the building, including close-contact home health aides and homemakers, many of whom service several different such housing complexes every week. They assist individual elders in their apartments with showers, dressing, making meals, cleaning, etc. They might serve as many as five different elderly, frail persons in five different senior housing complexes per week. As well, people routinely go to the hospital from here and return, providing yet another possible means of carrying the virus into the building. In turn, the workers themselves are at risk. What am I asking for? Law and enforcement. This is a deadly virus, not a political football. Change the discourse. Less talk about “the rules”—which only pits the obdurate against you—“Who is she to tell me what to do?”—more talk about the realities of the sickness and deaths in isolation, and that the only thing that works is to prevent the virus getting from one person to another. Face coverings, distancing and avoiding crowds has been shown beyond doubt to effectively stop the spread, as you have been saying. Now this point needs to be driven home, both in the discourse and in accompanying law (not “encouragement,” not “suggestions”), and fortified with enforcement and stiff fine. We are dealing with life and death, not some social-political issue! Ask the noncompliant—“Are you going to wait until your mother or father dies in front of you (at a distance, when you cannot hold their hand or say goodbye)? Or until you yourself go through the illness, before you take it seriously?” Many will decide, “YES, I am going to wait, and in the process endanger everyone else,” and are already clearly doing so. Therefore, to not have a law in place to protect the rest of us is irresponsible on the part of our government—not just the governor but the State Government as a whole (given that there is no hope of the Federal government doing what it should be doing)—especially at this point, when the WHO, CDC, and the rest of the health experts are shouting that the virus is surging—not “fading” but surging!— around the world. What in God’s name does it take? As a citizen, whose life is very definitely threatened by this pandemic—along with thousands of other elders—I hold my government accountable for failing to protect me and my neighbors with all the resources at their command. I can’t help but wonder why the case figure for my rural town has remained the same for many weeks now—whether that is because insufficient testing has been/is being done here—in this and other rural areas as well—or whether it is a true picture and we are just sitting ducks here waiting for the virus to make its way to the countryside. Thank you for your consideration in these concerns. And thank you for your continuing hard work in a most inhospitable situation. Sincerely, etc. Date When was this created?

As the days go on there's not much to do, We try to pass time playing board games like clue, The air outside has become filled with despair, But we are coming together and treating others with care. It is a struggle keeping focus on distance learning, The school I dreaded is now the place I’m yearning, It is hard to manage school and home life, I hate the coronavirus and how it has spread so rife. We give thanks to medical workers, doctors, and nurses, They have stayed in the fight as the pandemic worsens, We also shout out the essential workers like cashiers, They have shown us perseverance and having no fears. There is hope in the future that it will end, But all we can do is hope COVID-19 won’t be a trend, When this is over I hope humanity will be closer, We will be united standing shoulder by shoulder.

Throughout your life, you are constantly shown various lessons and morals that are supposedly applied towards your benefit. As kids, we grow with the repetitive reminder to be nice, say please and thank you, and no, hitting your brother is not okay. As our age climbs higher, the reality of life seems to push us through these beliefs, regardless if we want it or not. From always telling the truth to setbacks, we as kids usually learn these not through choice, but through hardships. Previously, if I had heard the statement “don’t take anything for granted”, my mind would’ve wandered towards teachers educating students on less fortunate countries, playing your heart out on the field as if it’s your last, and always saying I love you towards loved ones. However, COVID-19 had enabled a reality check slap in the face in both mine, and millions of others, as the world flipped on its access. From visual learning in the classroom, social events with friends, memories made with classmates, and prom and graduation, it would not be until March of 2020 that I had primarily learned the moral to not take anything for granted.
