The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted everyone’s lives across the world. Since last month, I have been working remotely, helping my kids navigate virtual learning, and just trying to keep it together. We are amidst Maryland’s stay-at-home order mandate which means that we stay home unless we are essential workers or need to go out for necessities. I have been doing my best to stay positive, and reminding myself that as long as I stay home, wash my hands, disinfect surfaces, and socially-distance myself from others when I do go out, that my family and I will be fine, and we’ll be doing our part to keep others safe as well.
To lessen the stress, I have been taking long walks in the morning before the kids wake up. We do not live too far from a hiking trail so my peaceful morning walks are amidst some beautiful, natural scenery. I took this photo this morning since the light from the sun shining through the treetops was breathtaking. I did not realize the blue orb in the photo until after.
I would describe myself as a spiritual person so the presence of the blue orb meant something to me. I looked up what it could mean and found this:
Blue is spiritually associated with psychic energy and truth. It is a very calming color, and many people associate it with spiritual guidance. Some people feel blue orbs are a sign of a calming presence or energy, while others feel they indicate the presence of a spirit guide in that location.
I truly believe that there is (and was) guidance around me, keeping me calm and at peace amidst the chaos and stress of the world.
