In these trying times of isolation and fear, I find myself turning to the sweet strength of Sierra Marin. All of her songs are beautiful offerings of musical healing, but the one that’s been especially uplifting to me during these long quarantine days has been “Love is the Medicine”.
The chorus is a perspective that is so desperately needed in the midst of this chaotic time. “And I got this feeling that we are here for healing, every moment revealing that our love is the medicine.”
I have seen this in sentiment in countless ways over the past few weeks. People are working so hard to take care of each other, donating time and supplies to those who need it most. Workers are uniting together in solidarity to demand better treatment from their corporate employers. Neighbors singing together out their open windows to lift each others spirits.
In this unprecedented time in human history, we find ourselves halted at a crossroads. It’s up to us which path we choose when the dust settles. A path of fear, in which people submit to more authoritarian restrictions “for the greater good”. Or a path of love, where we all join hands to forge a new way of living that could bring us back into harmony with the planet. Choose wisely.
Our love truly is the most powerful medicine.
