The promise of cabin living is that with a little land and with some ingenuity, we can have simpler times and more nature. Yes, that’s what I always thought and longed to experience. What happened when it happened?
Many of us are experiencing cabin fever as a result of the global pandemic. I began to notice signs of cabin fever within a week. Cabin fever refers to the distressing claustrophobic irritability or restlessness experienced when a person, or group, is stuck in an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended period of time. A person may be referred to as stir crazy--- according to Wikipedia.
We find ourselves in remarkable circumstances this year. The COVID–19 pandemic makes clear our global human interconnectedness and the responsibilities we have to one another. We have no precedent for its challenges, but we do know that our best response relies on the sort of global empathy, cooperation, and community building that sits at the heart of our Unity movement and ultimately of each human being.
Sheepishly, I confess that I’m not always a fan of some of the new technology. I’m learning once again that there is good in everything if we look for it. I’m proud of our Unity Centre for working tirelessly to use technology in wonderful and innovative ways so that we can keep connected with each other. Kudos to Nicole and Rev. Cay for their contribution to this end! And to those who have assisted them on the completion of it.
Surfing the Internet for ways to overcome cabin fever, I found an article by astronaut Scott Kelly who spent almost a year in outer space. What did he have to say? If there are any persons who are pros on isolation it’s our astronauts. While I cannot print the article because of its length, I invite you to read it online at: https://www.space.com/astronaut-tips-for-handling-isolation-coronavirus.html I decided to reach out and call people especially those whom I know live alone to see how they were faring in this isolation business. To my delight, I began to have a mission. It was interesting to notice how talking to others improved my cabin fever blues. It was a great blessing to
me and I hope to others. We began to share in ways that we don’t normally do, and I felt a deep connection with all those beautiful souls who answer their phones.
During this time, I spent a lot of time in meditation and prayer deepening my experience with the Christ within me. My entire being slowed down and I began to notice how many good things were happening outside around me: the herd of deer who appear in the early morning hours right in front of my cottage, the squirrels running up and down the trees, and the birds finding food in my yard were exhilarating. I just might do more of this when the isolation lifts.
As a treat, I listened to the song Cabin Fever by the Muppets and Barbra Streisand. Immediately I felt my spirits uplifted! And you can experience the bouncy tunes by the Muppets and Barbra Streisand. Here are the links:
Barbara Streisand https://youtu.be/oAZ6WD3kZGk Muppets Cabin Fever https://youtu.be/cmQwL6qiByo Scientists tell us that our body is constantly rebuilding and curing itself. When the body is fed the mental picture of wholeness, it builds its cells according to that picture, whereas when fed thoughts of hopelessness and incurability, the body builds the cells according to that mental picture. I recommend using Catherine Ponder’s affirmation to build within ourselves the perfect expression of health and wholeness. “Today I put all my energy into positive thoughts knowing that my body is strong and healthy. And so it is! Amen.” As we ride through this outward appearance of dis-ease, I know, affirm and hold firm that we, as lights in Spirit, are each united with the Universal Life Principle and Power. As we envision our heart centers opening to the Christ-Love, we send forth a stream of positive energy, setting into motion the great ordering principle that frees every sentient being of fear, disease, and despair. Our vision then includes the Truth that we are not the virus! Instead, we see with the spiritual eye the entire planet enclosed in a Corona of Love. We are free indeed. So it is! Lovingly and in Faith, Rev Rose
participate in Sunday Service as well as a medita-
tion twice a day with Cay.
During this time we will be building the Com-
mand Center for video and the septic lines
should be in (cannot hook to the church until
June). We are presently requesting quotes on
that.
Most importantly at this time is that we each em-
brace the Divine Christ being that each of us are
and truly Let Your Light Shine....this is the time
that we can reach out and make a difference not
only in our own life but the lives of millions of
others.
Much Love and Light to all,
~Mark Klotz

As we close this period of prayer, we resolve to remain aware of our oneness with God that empowers us to live in a state of peace, faith, wholeness, strength, and harmony. We know we are here to be the light of the world, which prayer makes possible. Let us recite the “Prayer for Protection” together …
The light of God surrounds us; I AM light.The love of God enfolds us; I AM love.The power of God protects us; I AM power.The presence of God watches over us. I AM presence.Wherever we are, God is! I AM Divine.
