"This too shall pass" is a Persian adage translated and used in multiple languages. It reflects on the temporary nature, or ephemerality, of the human condition. The general sentiment is often expressed in wisdom literature throughout history and across cultures, although the specific phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets such as Rumi (Wikipedia).

The Corona Virus is upon us. Most of us have no reference experience for this. So we must be creative as we engage and endure this unprecedented time.

Join Bing and Billy as they process their experience, discuss coping strategies and deliver a message of love and hope.
