“The congregation prayed:

Our Mother, who art the earth
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom hath come
Thy will being done
On earth for this is our heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our pollutions
As you forgave those who polluted before us
And lead us not into materialism
But deliver us from ego
For thou art the guardian, the benefactor, and the life everlasting
Long after humanity
Amen”

They were adjusting to the extraordinary situation. They were surviving.

Then the government just had to do something, again.”
