February 28 - Command

Command.

What command do you hear today?

Wash your hands. 

We are speaking about pandemic now. The coronavirus is all around the world and the world seems ill-prepared to address it. We find it hard to get our heads around this.

I blame vaccines. And antibiotics. We live in the expectation that we are covered for everything. That we won’t catch it. But if we do, there’s a drug for that.

I’m grateful that I have come this far in my life without any near-death experiences. But I am at the age where I am at peace with death. I think. I don’t need to live a long life. I don’t need anything more than what I have.

But, at the same time, I think about people who are just seeing their lives and all the possibility stretching out before them, and I feel some responsibility toward them. a desire to protect them.

So, whatever may come, I’ll wash my hands. I’ll try very hard to stop touching my face! I’ll be mindful of the things that pose a threat to life.
