It has been three weeks of working from home. I don’t think anybody would have imagined end of February how the world around us and within us would change. There are mixed messages of resilience and downfall, of hope and pain, of social distancing and virtual meetings. In short – it is nothing we ever imagined or planned for. There has been immense loss of life – I dont know if we pay more attention, since the single cause is a virus spreading around and it comes up in news so prominently. It feels insensitive at time to just see those numbers as statistics and curves on a graph. But I know everyone is trying their best to limit the loss of life – so, I shouldn’t dwell on that. Take care, stay safe, and, in these tough times, remember…

Don’t you know yet? It is your light that lights the world.

– Rumi
