Phil was a font of fabulous ideas to bring to life:

• Phil said the pace of the soul is to saunter. If it’s safe in your neighborhood to go for a walk, notice how fast you and the people around you are moving. Whatever your pace, slow down and notice what changes.
• Phil’s family used to read aloud to one another. When was the last time you did that! If you are living with others, pick up a book and pass it around. If you are alone, read aloud to yourself. Or call someone and read together.
• Phil mentioned several places he loved to visit. Where have you been surprised by how powerful a place was. Share photos with someone. Talk about what it felt like to be in that place. Or return to that place in your journal and see what surfaces as important.
• In your journal, list places you’ve visited and ask: Was there a pattern? What was I looking for? Did I find it? When I can travel again, where do I want to go next?
• Mark Twain said the two most important days are the day you are born and the day you found out why. This quarantine is the ideal moment to ponder the great why.
• Send someone a letter. And while you’re at it, sing and dance too!
