A pandemic (from Greek pan “all” and demos “people”) is a dis ease spread across a large region.
After experiencing firsthand the checklist I never thought I would have lived…….
✔️empty shelves….no paper products, or water, or canned goods , in 3 STORES !!!!!!
✔️people in line before store opened… like we’re all waiting for new I phone, but for FOOD….. lol
✔️rain that just waited til we were in the crazy line outside to literally POUR
✔️police at the Walmart due to a fight!!!
✔️the local news were here
✔️a million people and only 2 checkers at Vons
I thought …and just how much worse will this get exactly!????!!!
and…when WILL they have toilet paper ???????!!!
It was then I realized, we are all Pan’s people… and when I decided to laugh at adversity instead of weeping in my coffee….I looked closer…..
The word panic ultimately derives from the god’s name.
Pan possessed enormous strength. He could also run for long periods of time and was impervious to injury.
realized I needed to take a step back. Some stress can be a good thing, but too much can effect us emotionally and physically.
Don’t dwell on the big picture.
Take one day at a time.
Make yourself a priority.
Find the fun.
Come to us who gather below
When the broad white moon is climbing slow
Through the stars to the heavens height
We hear thy hoofs on the wind of night
As black tree branches shake and sigh
By joy and terror we know thee nigh
We speak the spell thy power unlocks
At Solstice, Sabbat, and Equinox
Word of virtue the veil to rend
From primal dawn to the wide world’s end
Since time began—
The blessing of Pan!
