I assume that many of you feel stress and exausted by some restrictions on outings and many changes in your circumstances. It looks like we need at least two years to get back to normal. If I can know the future, I want to present to you an advent calender for COVID-19. So many of you can feel joy and peace by opening its small windows and eating some small sweets in them. Some countries like Taiwan or New Zealand helped to shorten the duration of an advent calender for COVID-19.

And I have a better idea for you. We know that “tommorow will come” is always just an illusion. I think that some of you already experienc it deeply. Based on that, living in this moment is real and sure. Sometimes we see an illusion which is called the future, and we put many complaints, anxieties and worries in it. If you are doing it now, please listen to birds singing, smell the fresh air coming into your apartment, and see the sky which has lots of changing clouds. You will start to feel gratitude toward your space, this moment, what you have and what you will be able to create.

If you stay in this moment, you can put gratitude behind you and will be lead by your courage. And you don’t need an advent calender for COVID-19 any more. Because you will start to feel that you yourself are a treasure and you are doing so well. Those feelings will make you feel that you are OK whatever your tommorow is.
