It is time to be reminded that our lives are intimately intertwined with one another.
| It was one of those drizzly mornings. An overcast sky overlooking the empty runways and silent highways.
Sometimes it takes something so small and insignificant to stir up something so huge and unfathomable an impact. Masked and physically distanced, nobody cares how much you have, how exclusive your accessories are, how big your car or house is, and how many drivers or houses you own. Nobody cares how many accolades or trophies you have bagged, how many titles or scrolls you have collected or how influential your position is.
A change is taking place on the outside, and perhaps, within each of us. Suddenly, people are praying more than before. Suddenly the Almighty seems more real than ever. Suddenly people are rushing to write their last testament. Suddenly people are becoming more hygienic, more caring, more united and more mindful than they ever were. It is no longer about just us, but them too.For some, it is a quiet revolution of the heart while the world outside races against pain and death.
With the hands of time ticking slower than before, I find that I have time to do what I had missed or left on the fringes. Time to whip up healthier meals, time to laugh and catch up on those good reads and movies, and most of all, time to celebrate family togetherness. In times like this when we are told to leave gaps in the act of physical distancing, let us not leave gaps in our moments and memories. Let us not leave gaps in our minds to think for the powerless. Let us not leave gaps in our hearts to love unconditionally. It is time to be reminded that our lives are intimately intertwined with one another, weaved in that thick tapestry on the vast canvas of humanity.
