I've been cracking away at the Bible and other ancient texts for a bit. I'm still trying to find the "best" way to approach sharing findings, in terms of a way that's beneficial to my ongoing exploration, and a way that captures the complexity thereof. This is an attempt at that. Note: The "segments" aren't separate... the recording had to be split due to upload size.
What are good intentions really? Not everything we do carries that label; as well-intended as they may be. What makes good intentions different? Is this (hypothetical) difference the reason Hell's road is paved with these?

"Coping With Covid-19" (Pt. 3 of 3)
Series Summary:
If I have anything to offer in the way of advice, regarding mental health, self-care and emotional well being, during this Covid-19 pandemic, it's concentration on these three things: 1. Appetite 2. Obligations 3. Practices.
Covid-19 has pulled the rug from under us, but while we focus on the dust, the smoke and broken mirrors, the fact is solid ground remains. This pandemic is an opportunity to get grounded; to see things as they are, quietly humming along — the proverbial hand of God that is always working behind the scenes.
In the fog of our own activities (mental and physical) this hand we don't see. Coping with the Covid-19 pandemic — a worldwide crisis that renders many things uncertain and causes us to confront our limits — in my mind, can be distilled into these three things, all of which are matters of perception.

It's said, "rules are made to be broken" but is this a defiant declaration or a philosophical observation? Are rules in fact fashioned in such a way that they be broken? Disposable items are "made to be" disposed of; is our relationship with rules such that it might rightly be said that they're made to be broken? And if so, don't they need to be revisited? Covid-19 has made a lot of things come to the fore. The false confidence in assumptions about - and dependence on - rules as a means of control is one of them. In this recording I'll explore our relationship with rules and submit ways we may consider change, so that they're no longer made for breaking.
