Quotation for Tuesday 5th May 2020

Good morning everyone,

The wind is really blustery here this morning, shaking the boughs and leaves of the two trees right outside my apartment window. It’s early in the season, so the leaves cling tenaciously to the branches, weathering the storm.

Just as we are all doing at the moment! When a strong wind of change blows through our lives we do try to cling on to what we know and love and want to protect.

Of course there are many things we want and need to protect and keep, but sometimes it’s better to let some things go. The winds of change can be welcome, pushing us to a better world. What will we choose to let go when the storm of the coronavirus crisis has passed?

Here’s an old Chinese proverb I’ve chosen as my quotation for today.

“When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, and others build windmills”

Every time I see footage of animals reclaiming parts of the world once the domain of the human species only, I know what change I’d love to see. We have to learn to better share the spaces we occupy on planet earth.

Take care and I hope you all have a good day today. 🙏🌈

Hello Callendersgal, thank you for the quote today. It’s quite nice here and good to see sunshine. I’d build windmills.

I’m clinging on to hope that we may all emerge from this as better, more caring people. Having seen an interview with Jane Goodall recently, we must learn to have a greater respect for the animal kingdom.

Enjoy your day. Xxx 🌻🌸🦋🌼🌈
