A pandemic is an ideal time for us to question our feelings and thoughts in terms of fear and pain, of faith and hope, even of medication and meditation. What is touched on in these few occasional writings is the difference between reaction and response, the value we place on childlike faith, on growth as development and evolution and on human creativity. Unavoidably a few related issues rise to the surface. One purpose is to forestall panic by means of intelligent understanding. The reader is encouraged to place especial trust in his own human nature and in merciful spirit of love.
