"Others have said this, but it is worth the reminder: When you go out and see the empty streets, the empty train platforms, the empty stadiums - don't say to yourself "It looks like the end of the world." What you are really seeing is LOVE in action. What you are seeing in that negative space is how much we do care for each other, for our parents, for our grandparents, for our immune-compromised brothers and sisters ... for all those we will never meet. People will lose jobs over this - some will lose their businesses - and sadly, some will lose their lives. All the more reason to take a moment when you are out on your walk, or on the way to the store, or just watching the news ~ to look into that emptiness and marvel at all the LOVE that you see. Let it fill you and sustain you. This isn't the end of the world. This is the most remarkable act of global solidarity we may ever witness. "
