ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the writer discusses the impact of the pandemic on him and those around him. From what appeared to be a lifeless state of living, there is resurrection. There is emerging life and practice of life to connect with oneself, with fellow human beings and beyond. He seizes the hopeless state of the pandemic from uncertainty and confusion to a new level where life can give meaning to himself and the society around him. There is reliving and reconnecting of the past to the present and the future. As COVID-19 accelerates technology, more opportunities arise to reconnect personal relationships. His journey uses a palette of nourishment, including appreciative inquiry, appreciative living, ikigai (to describe the pleasures and meaning of life), and living mindsets to feed ourselves with hope and deliverance. He emphasizes important core values to address the post-pandemic, including resilience, compassion, and positivity.
