Soon enough, you will feel the gale force winds of corporate globalism chafing your face. It will scream, \u201cBack to normal!\u201d, a clarion call to return to the shopping mall, book that vacation trip, buy that new television. These messages will be cloaked in patriotic slogans like \u201csupport American workers.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The refrain of unbridled global capitalism will once again trumpet images of unattainable success and perfection in an attempt to convince you that you are not enough. And then markets you trinkets and services to address your perceived deficiencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If only, and only if, you buy this designer dress\u2026 will you be beautiful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jeffOf course, the rush of excitement fades almost as soon as you open the box. But also consider the journey of that dress; from the cotton fields of Arkansas to the yarn-making factories of Indonesia; the cloth was made, cut and dyed in Bangladesh and sewn in a Chinese sweatshop, shipped to a distribution center in\u00a0Bakersfield,\u00a0trucked to an H&M in Anaheim; and finally … to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we have felt the looming shadow of the grim reaper, Armageddon\u2019s hot breath on our neck. Now that we\u2019ve\u00a0hunkered down with our families; cooking,\u00a0reading, praying, walking, crying, laughing \u2026 holding each other tighter than before, sometimes from six feet away. Now that we have awakened to what makes life sacred\u00a0and worthwhile, we know this:<\/span><\/p>\n

We are enough. Right here in our pajamas. We\u00a0are enough.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We can envision a new human story, once obscured by smog, but now\u00a0visible on the\u00a0horizon, not solely because we\u2019ve awakened, but\u00a0because we\u00a0stopped spewing filth into our skies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can see that not only does endless consumption not serve us but it also does not\u00a0serve the worker, American or foreign. It contributes to a society where three people own more wealth than 50% of the\u00a0population combined, to a country that has left our most vulnerable citizens destitute on the streets, to a system that has under-equipped our brave health care workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In our quarantine, something\u00a0shifted. Quietly, as if out of a collective unconscious, we all imagined the same thing:<\/span><\/p>\n

We have imagined a local, community-based approach to living with systems and structures engineered at human-scale, not at global industrial scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have imagined new indices of success\u00a0measured by how we treat our most vulnerable citizens and our planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have imagined a new enlightenment which alloys science with the\u00a0universal spiritual principles echoed across all traditions: love, compassion, empathy and tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have imagined a world in which we own less things, lest we be owned by our things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is my humble prayer: As we are beckoned back to\u00a0\u201cnormal\u201d let us not be tempted by the siren call of consumption. Let us remember that bending the arc of history can start in your\u00a0backyard with a garden and\u00a0by bringing chicken soup to a sick neighbor. Let us\u00a0remember the things that, in our\u00a0shelter, made life worthwhile.\u00a0Let us remember that we are\u00a0enough.<\/span><\/p>\n
