Thank you to our former teacher Maeve Clissmann for sharing this wonderful poem, which will certainly strike a chord with many of us during the current times:

'And people stayed home'
by Kathleen O'Meara in 1869

And people stayed home
And read books and listened
And rested and exercised
And made art and played
And learned new ways of being
And stopped
And listened deeper
Someone meditated
Someone prayed
Someone danced
Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed
And in the absence of people who lived in ignorant ways,
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
Even the earth began to heal
And when the danger ended
And the people found each other
Grieved for the dead people
And they made new choices
And created new ways of life
And healed the earth completely
Just as they were healed themselves.
