A virus that started in a remote area in Asia has spread to the far corners of the globe. A brutal murder of an African American man in Minneapolis has reawakened the world to racial injustice. The forced lockdown of humans has given a breather for our planet with decades of smog lifting in places like Mumbai. Many countries that were already debating if and how to integrate refugees and immigrants have closed their borders to control the pandemic. How we reopen and respond to the myriad of challenges ahead will reveal our humanity. We are one human race renting space on this grand planet Earth. Despite physical or cultural variations, as humans we are genetically similar. In fact, scientists conclude from DNA analysis that all humans are 99.9% identical. The sages from many traditions emphasize our interconnectedness–that we are all expressions of a Greater Intelligence, drops in a vast cosmic ocean.&nbsp;</p><pre><code>[inline_related_posts title="You Might Be Interested In" title_align="left" style="list" number="3" align="none" ids="" by="categories" orderby="rand" order="DESC" hide_thumb="no" thumb_right="no" views="no" date="yes" grid_columns="2" post_type="" tax=""]</code></pre><p style="text-align: start"></p><img src="https://letcheck.b-cdn.net/3154/clyrpjw4p05pfrz8zamrje3ee.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto; cursor: pointer;" draggable="true"><h3 id="769b31af-9c24-48e0-b320-e86dbfd0b06c" data-toc-id="769b31af-9c24-48e0-b320-e86dbfd0b06c"><strong>Instead of fighting the waves looking for differences, let's row together.</strong></h3><p>Move in the direction of peace by being compassionate in your interactions and mindful of our shared resources.
