History Repeats Itself

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF Came across this poem written in 1989, reprinted during 1919 Pandemic

This is Timeless...

And people stayed at home And read books And listened And they rested And did exercises And made art and played And learned new ways of being And stopped and listened More deeply Someone meditated, someone prayed Someone met their shadow And people began to think differently And people healed. And in the absence of people who Lived in ignorant ways Dangerous, meaningless and heartless, The earth also began to heal And when the danger ended and People found themselves They grieved for the dead And made new choices And dreamed of new visions And created new ways of living And completely healed the earth Just as they were healed.

SUNSHINE AND SYMPATHY

This is in response to the inquiries about the coronavirus and any of our residents who may be effected with it. Regarding the nature of the pandemic, the unknown path it will take and Sunshine’s role in publication, it has been decided to follow the guidelines suggested from the government, that is, specifically to Sunshine, not to identify effected people by name. For the future I plan to continue these same guidelines. Sunshine will continue to do all aspects of the health news just as I have in the past. That being, ill people with the “usual” medical problems, that is to say, fractured hips, cancer, etc. will be published with the full knowledge and permission from the effected resident or their chosen representative. All deaths that I become aware of can be acknowledged without permission as this is a matter of public record in Lee County. I sincerely hope that we will continue as we have with no effected residents and look forward to a summer filled with good health for all.
