As literally 1000’s of airplanes are grounded in an unprecedented effort to mitigate the spread (notice how I didn’t say, contain- seemingly impossible now with cases reported-and many more unreported/latent in 114 countries) of the corona virus pandemic; 100’s of millions of people are sent home from school, work, life.

The world has literally been grounded — sent to our homes and rooms to reflect. What a wonderful opportunity for many of us living in a fast-pace, highly competitive, increasingly digitized, noisy, contentious society to slow down, breathe, turn off our electronic smart devices and just BE in our rooms, sitting in silence.
