    "WE ARE NOT ALL IN THE SAME BOAT.

    WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME STORM.

    SOME ARE ON SUPER-YACHTS.

    SOME HAVE JUST THE ONE OAR."

    This illustration was done by Barbara Kelley to accompany a quote of mine
    used by a columnist in The Wall Street Journal, “We are not all in the same boat.
    We are all in the same storm. Some of us are on super-yachts. Some have just the one oar.’

    My quote also popped up on Oprah’s podcast!

    Along with Dolly, Oprah is one of my icons.

    Here she is talking to Dr Alan Lightman about coronavirus and collective experience and consciousness. Storms and seas and boats and all that. Wow!

    "We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
    Some are on super-yachts. Some have just the one oar."

    We are not in the same boat: A poem about COVID-19

    May 5, 2020
    Read this excerpt from a poem about the broad variety of issues people are facing during this time. The author is unknown, but it has been widely shared on social media.

    I heard that we are in the same boat.
    But it’s not like that.
    We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat.
    Your ship can be shipwrecked and mine might not be.
    boat.
    Or vice versa.
    For some, quarantine is optimal: a moment of reflection, of re-connection.
    For others, this is a desperate crisis.
    For others it is facing loneliness.
    For some, a peace, rest time, vacation.
    Yet for others, Torture: How am I going to pay my bills?
    Some were concerned about a brand of chocolate for Easter.
    Others were concerned about the bread for the weekend, or if the noodles would last for a few more days.

    Some were in their “home office”.
    Others are looking through trash to survive.
    Some have experienced the near death of the virus, some have already lost someone from it, some are not sure their loved ones are going to make it, and some don’t even believe this is a big deal.
    Some of us who are well now may end up experiencing it, and some believe they are infallible and will be blown away if or when this hits someone they know.
    So, friends, we are not in the same boat.
    We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different.
    And each one will emerge, in his own way, from that storm.
    Some with a tan from their pool. Others with scars on the soul (for invisible reasons).
    It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking. More than looking…
    Seeing.
    See beyond the political party, beyond religion, beyond the nose on your face.
    senior.
    Do not underestimate the pain of others if you do not feel it.
    Do not judge the good life of the other, do not condemn the bad life of the other.
    Don’t be a judge.
    Let us not judge the one who lacks, as well as the one who exceeds.
    We are different ships looking to survive.
    Let everyone navigate their route with respect, empathy and responsibility.
