In these times of social distancing, we must make an extra effort to connect with others. During this practice, we can close the distance between us and our loved ones and find the connection we are seeking. I heard a quote today by Lama Willa Miller, "In a pandemic, self-isolation is called quarantine. In Buddism, it is called a retreat. From the cave of our home, like the meditators of ancient times, we can consciously kindle the lamp of compassion and connection."
