As the prime minister last night restricted our movement for the sake of the greater good in order to slow the spread of the virulent coronavirus it struck me that the timing is somewhat auspicious. Today is a new moon.
The new moon brings with it the opportunity for a fresh start – new beginnings and fresh intentions. With the country in lockdown perhaps now is indeed a great time to reflect on all that has brought us to this point and look to the future with hope in our hearts.
My hope is that those who get through this difficult time are more humble, more appreciative of all that we have and that we can all slow down and enjoy our life more. I hope we can value this time we have in this lifetime and look after the planet and ourselves with more empathy. I hope the hours on social media translate into lasting and close friendships when we finally meet again face to face.
With the new moon I welcome the opportunity to look forward with hope as we face a new dawn.
