There will be a day when you can do all the things you normally do, and there will a trade off: you won’t able to do what you can do today.
You’ll have a that day but you won’t ever get this one again, and it would be a tragedy if you wasted it, waiting to be released by someone else. —
— John Pavlovitz wrote that.
And there’s more. To put it into proper context —
The terrifying reality of this season is realizing how fragile life is and how quickly it can dissolve. If there’s anything good found in seeing so many leave this place with such velocity and randomness, it can be that we make sure we don’t procrastinate living another minute more.

You are inconvenienced and redirected, but you aren’t stopped.
You are physically separated from people but you are connected in ways that transcend geography.
You are frustrated and tired and worried, but you are alive and that’s a pretty important detail to miss.
As much as you can, stay home and stay safe in this quarantine—but as much as you can, keep living while you do.
Do what you are able to do, cultivate gratitude, be present, show compassion.
