By Debra Basham, on March 22, 2020 I have been safe sheltering for one week because of the global outbreak of COVID-19.
Today I baked cookies.
I used all of the flour, all of the brown sugar, 4 of the eggs, and almost the last of the butter.
While my action might seem mundane to some, to me […]
By Debra Basham, on March 20, 2020 Buttering my bread, I wonder if I will run out of either or both before this is over. I notice the habit pattern of the worry brain. Will John continue to have cream for his coffee?
Being comfortable or satiated will end long before risk of malnutrition or starvation.
Questioning the ethics of […]
By Debra Basham, on March 18, 2020 It is surreal that I posted my previous blog just yesterday. I did say this self-selected social isolation may not last forever, it may just feel that way.
Actually, I don’t really mind the solitude. Last evening Barbara Brodsky asked our Dharma Path group to notice how very little is different about this from […]
By Debra Basham, on March 17, 2020 After reading a rather long article related to the spread of COVID-19 I am pondering what I am willing to do for the good of all: Don’t Test, Don’t Tell — 10 Days Later.

By Debra Basham, on March 16, 2020 Much of my life I have felt out-of-step with much of the world. Decades before smoking in public places was banned, I put up a “Thank You For Not Smoking” sign on my door. Some friends—even some family members—refused to come over.

By Debra Basham, on March 13, 2020 Hearing Barbara Brodsky speak candidly about her husband, Hal, being so very vulnerable in the nursing home. What if the facility goes on lockdown and he can’t have the therapy so desperately needed. She wonders if she should bring him home. “I want to know. I don’t know. Does anybody know?”
Barbara hears Aaron, […]
By Debra Basham, on March 10, 2020 Here in Southwest Florida things are heating up, and I am not just referencing this week’s 80 degree temperatures. Following two deaths in Fort Myers—confirmed coronovirus—many are practicing voluntary social isolation with an eye toward protecting those most vulnerable.
A Michigan colleague, Jane Oelke, N.D., doctor of homeopathy, just published a great newsletter article. […]
By Debra Basham, on March 8, 2020 Whoa…. fear can spread like wildfire. We can put that fire out.
A friend/colleague is part of several groups I attend here in Florida. She has cancelled the meditation group she hosts in her home and has reached out to another of our mutual groups suggesting the meetings be cancelled because “at least one, […]
By Debra Basham, on March 6, 2020 Autumn
Leaves are falling down autumn of my life this is I must choose to live
Watching baby breathe innocent and fresh new start coming from the heart
Hands wrinkled from work burdened by beliefs not mine wake before too late
She is blind but sees his deaf ears hear love’s true call death’s doorway […]
By Debra Basham, on February 28, 2020 My mind is so busy. I pull myself away from the Tapping Summit to join my Friday morning writing group, and the group seems so focused on the mundane I want to leave. I want to be inside where it is safe.
