Ideal Visions of the world after Covid-19

I asked you to share YOUR vision of how you imagine the ideal way our world has changed in the wake of Covid-19 and would like to thank everyone who took the time to write and share their amazing vision!  In the order received:

---

Tim Pacheco:  
We will never look at our family members, our friends, co-workers, acquaintances and strangers around us the same again. There will be a communal feeling that we have all experienced something really horrific and have survived it together, with a greater appreciation for each other and a new found sense of inner peace that transcends the world over.
John Lennon's song "Imagine" come to life in our world. That

would be my ideal outcome.

Bonnie Graves Grant:  
Thank you for giving me a place to share my vision Christa! You have the most radiant spirit.
My Vision ...
I envision a world that is more tolerant, kind, and compassionate. That we can learn to appreciate what we have and I'm not talking about the things that money can buy. And that we will all remember to share that wealth. I want Mother

Earth to continue to heal as she is doing now and that we don't destroy the healing that the climate has known in these past weeks. I envision a world that my child, grandchildren and all generations to come, will be able to not only live on but to thrive and love for Eternity.
With this, I am sending light and peace to the Universe for those that are ill, that they will be healed. Those that are frightened, they will be comforted. And that this dark time will pass quickly.

My vision: Our world at the end of winter (Southern hemisphere) 2020, has filled with love in the wake of COVID-19. Every man, woman, child was asked to slow down, to go inward, to search within themselves what was really truly important, and to blossom into this. What wasn't essential was left behind, and instead of waste and destruction, we emerged with dedication for healing and repair, for the planet and ourselves. Families

spent time together and grew closer, remembering the value of one another and the importance of growing in love together, and now are appreciating every moment of life and simply glowing with gratitude. Families reconnected with one another and communal living once again became a way to thrive. Mother nature was given time and space to heal, and because of this, provided her beauty and abundance for all the creatures of the planet living in harmony, as the exchange of giving and taking from nature was once again in balance.
Our family, we emerged more in love with each other than ever before. We felt light, free, calm, joyful, so deeply in gratitude that we have everything we could ever need, and more. We are surrounded by a community of families and friends and our hearts are full as we live more connected to each other, to nature and to ourselves that we did before. We know clearly our purpose for this lifetime and we know exactly how to create this.
In the wake of COVID, the world decided that small, local communities were the only way forward and so we ceased our massive global machine and focused on building a sustainable life in our smaller communities. People are now kind to one another, to themselves. There is a feeling of peace, and a deep respect and gratitude that we woke up from the destructive dream we were living before COVID. COVID truly gave us the space and time to become crystal clear about what is important to us.

Ok Christa Rae Pacheco - this was a tall order, but here goes:
We begin sharing more.
Reducing our consumption & consumerism. We truly support local, home grown businesses and they support our community. This dependence on local is a shared experience worldwide and proliferates organically.
We value our families, friendship, nature, music, dance, games &

art more than money, television, influencers & fame.  
This experience builds a culture of deep curiosity. More inventions are made & shared across all nations. We begin solving problems in teams internationally, and more knowledge is shared than ever before as we have been exposed to more online tools than ever before.
We become more interested and interesting...
We learn to grown more food in our backyards. We sow more seeds, and tend our crops and harvest the fruits of our labor and share our techniques and the spoils with our neighbors.
Social responsibility becomes more integrated in our new culture. We plan & prepare more to ensure we are looking out for one another.
Our culture renounces survival of the fittest and becomes a culture of intention, and caring for our elders thoughtfully. And honoring them and learns from their shared wisdom. We begin to honor our bodies, our psyches and each other more deeply.
This changes our outlook on healthcare and we adopt a healthcare for all policy that states that access to healthcare is a basic human right. This also changes our outlook on welfare, loans, and government funded support of those in crisis. We are all in it together. It brings together the democratic and republican parties. It brings down walls literally between states & countries as we work together.
The 2 party system in America is forever changed. Multiple parties develop and there is more diversity in thought, and we build consensus into the architecture of our system. Outdated systems, laws and political architecture is eradicated and we allow the public to truly make the choice in our leadership. Innovators, entrepreneurs, teachers & scientists are inspired to get involved and they win over voters with facts, science & care for all sentient beings, and the environment.
The World Health Organization, the United Nations and OECD, APEC & WTO begin working together to create a constitution of nations to bring forward human rights for all:
1. World Health supported by all nations.
2. World peace supported by all nations.
3. World economic vitality supported by all nations.
4. The end of poverty supported by all nations.
5. The end of hunger supported by all nations.
In the end, we realize we are all in this together. We survive and thrive together.
I'm sending prayers and blessings to all who read this. Prayers for health, peace and love to lead us.

Jill Stollmeyer, will you just run for President already?! You SO have my Vote, sister!!! I love ALL your visions and I absolutely Love how you got right on the visioning and didn't sit in the problem. Big Solution oriented. This big thinking, creativeness, sharing, love, this is what is going to see us all through. The New Earth! So Exciting! Right now, I am focusing on "Being Here Now" like we have heard from so many greats that have walked the

Earth. As I take each breath, I am staying in the now. Opening myself more and more to spirit and loosening all holds on my will and letting God's Will lead the way. I see a world where we are connected to our higher self, our innate gifts and operate with unconditional love as a result of this shift. Sending big love to you and the family!!

Kate Evans:  
Nature will be in better shape and we can continue to help it heal at a better rate. People will have gotten clearer about what is important in life and live with more gratitude. We all will be more in touch with our creativity and inner beings and personal health...which can mean only good for the planet..

Sita Callahan: 
Rather than Social Distance I like to see us as Socially Realigning. As we navigate this life changing event it's exactly where we are supposed to be. A time to reflect on our deepest soul desires, a time to truly commune with Mother Nature, a time to reach out in new and wonderful ways. This will change us forever so let's make it loving and beautiful....Human Nature is amazing.

Thomas Hobbit Garrett:  
I see humanity at its best and worst right now.
I believe we will all come to realize that we are all one on this planet, interconnected on a cellular level that only some can fathom, and more will come to be aware of in the coming days.
I relish that thought. We all need to care for and about each other. We are all humans.
We have no separation regardless of race, creed or color. 

One planet, and we all share it.  Let's act like it.

Jillian Ermshar-Hunt:  
We emerge from our shelter with a new appreciation for our connections. Our connections to loved ones, friends, our community, our food, our environment/nature, our bodies, & our spirits. We realize our love is stronger than our fear and attach to our spirit purpose. Blessings of health & peace & abundance Realizers Community

Lan Mower:  
Ooo I like this.:  After many months of paring down our lives to the essentials and reassessing what is most important in our lives, the world takes stock and re-prioritizes. Family and community rush to the top of the list as our worry for those we love allows us to stop 
sweating the small stuff and help our loved ones through trying times. People who have let the rat race of life dictate their lack of

true human connection come to realize how important it is to have these relationships in place and reach out to family and friends.  
Our time in self-isolation has allowed us to open the creative doors of our mind once again. Without the hustle bustle of daily life sweeping through our days and keeping our minds occupied as we rush around, we have let our lives quiet down. After what we deem is boredom settled in, we started to create and invent new ways to have fun and get to projects that have been put off. We make art, cook new dishes, invent new games, read more books, have deep conversations. The slow down allows our introspective side to quietly reflect on ourselves as individuals and as a species. A reassessment of our choices and a formulation of plans to help prepare for these times in the future. We realize that this is not just a one-time situation and that viruses are going to always be ever-changing and we will find a more effective and efficient way to handle this in the future. This event will be a rude awakening in all of humankind that we are ill-prepared for so many different kinds of disasters and have become reliant on the expectation that we can order anything we want instantly online. We will formulate ways to source locally for everything we need and move more towards a village sort of life where the people in our community all offer something different and share with one another.
People will band together against this common enemy and against racism and greed. Humans will look out for one another because this is a very physical example of "we are all one". The more people who are not well and who can't take care of themselves, the worse for all of us. Social media will allow for the racist and greedy to be called out and for those ideas to be pushed away.
Oh and bidets will come into fashion in the US and AU.

Allison Franks:  
I think this is a huge, once in several lifetimes, shift for most of mankind. There's a lot of fear going around, and it's terrible that people are getting sick, dying and losing their jobs. But I have already seen lots of positive changes as well. Air pollution has decreased dramatically in a lot of major cities because less people are driving and staying home, and also lots of once busy waterways are now clearer. Hopefully this will show some

companies that more people are able to work from home, and this can have a lasting positive effect on the environment. I'm also seeing people connecting more with each other, because we have more time to chat and FaceTime with friends and family. Hopefully this forces everyone to slow down a little, take a break from hectic schedules, and really focus on what's important. I've also noticed people being extra friendly in our neighborhoods, passing by on walks (from at least 6ft away of course) and chatting with various companies over the phone, people seem to be making a real effort to be more caring. It's like a shared mentality that we are all in this together, and we will all get thru this together.
