Unsettling and uncertain times we are living in now, but I have to believe that after the worst of it has passed we as a species will come out stronger, more conscious, more conscientious, more loving, more sensitive--that something (or many things) beautiful will come of this. I have to believe that we will collectively see the how every action we take has a direct impact on the world, and by extension each and every one of us. For now, let's keep love in our hearts--love for ourselves, love for one another, love for all of life. Love for everything and for nothing. For love is the great force that "turns the ugly into the beautiful" (to quote The Real Tuesday Weld), and gives the great gifts of acceptance, perspective, and wisdom. This is our time; this is our chrysalis.
