<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:14.4pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">They say that after just a few weeks of quiet<br>
The sky is no longer thick with fumes<br>
But blue and grey and clear.<br>
They say that in the streets of Assisi<br>
People are singing to each other<br>
across the empty squares,<br>
keeping their windows open<br>
so that those who are alone<br>
may hear the sounds of family around them.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Is offering free meals and delivery to the housebound.<br>
Today a young woman I know<br>
is busy spreading fliers with her number<br>
through the neighbourhood<br>
So that the elders may have someone to call on.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples<br>
are preparing to welcome<br>
and shelter the homeless, the sick, the weary<br>
All over the world people are slowing down and reflecting<br>
All over the world people are looking at their neighbours in a new way<br>
All over the world people are waking up to a new reality<br>
To how big we really are.<br>
To how little control we really have.<br>
To what really matters.<br>
To Love.<br>
So we pray and we remember that<br>
Yes there is fear.<br>
But there does not have to be hate.<br>
Yes there is isolation.<br>
But there does not have to be loneliness.<br>
Yes there is panic buying.<br>
But there does not have to be meanness.<br>
Yes there is sickness.<br>
But there does not have to be disease of the soul<br>
Yes there is even death.<br>
But there can always be a rebirth of love.<br>
Wake to the choices you make as to how to live now.<br>
Today, breathe.<br>
Listen, behind the factory noises of your panic<br>
The birds are singing again<br>
The sky is clearing,<br>
Spring is coming,<br>
And we are always encompassed by Love.<br>
Open the windows of your soul<br>
And though you may not be able<br>
to touch across the empty square,<br>
Sing.</span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
