Nyepi in Bali in a time of corona-virus

Nyepi is a day of rest, calm down, silence. Just one day per year in Bali, not unlike ramadan, but that is one month and every evening crowded, festive even. But in day-time also meditation, forgiving. Elga Sarapung sent me a nice wish or nyepi:

Nyepi of Bali gves now a special flavour to the social lockdown: few social contacts, staying in the house us much as possible. No libraries open, no restaurants, cinemas, mosques and churches closed down. No choir rehearsals, no concerts. Easter without the Passion music of Bach. Some very serious communal Nyepi. But we still could make a nice walk along the canal in the cold but sunny weather of what we consider as a quiet spring! Happy claming down!
