Today marks 2 months of intensive posting on maintaining a spiritual focus during the Covid-19 Pandemic. I began on April 11, after 1 month of lock-down here in California. Things certainly have progressed in various ways and I do affirm that we know more about the virus and it's spread than we did when the Pandemic began. Yet, there is much more that needs to be understood in terms of curtailing and ending this world crisis. We have much more to discover about preventing future pandemics as well and making decisions on how we will proceed from now--how our local communities, our country and the world will change.

I maintain that those who can hold a spiritual perspective, based on unity, oneness, and individual religious freedom, continue to have positive impact on unfolding events--in both our personal, individual lives, the lives of our immediate relationships, and the larger collective field. For now though, although I will continue to post frequently, I won't be posting daily. I plan to return to daily posts when circumstances demand it. I am currently exploring the possibility of holding an online, Sunday service through Zoom. Those of you who are on the Hillside mailing list will shortly receive a postcard through regular mail regarding this. Those of you who are on the Hillside email list will receive the email version. And I will include the postcard text on a facebook post for those who are not on either and, most likely, I will post a facebook event page when something is actually scheduled. More tomorrow...
