...when we are all in isolation

in common, regardless of who we are

do we run to our shelters and bar our feelings and thoughts


or are we more brave than we thought


can we reach out and maintain a lifeline to a

stranger (on-line), a family member, a friend

what is our foundation for this un-experienced state (Tweet This)


are we welcoming of this distance

and know that alongside, we can still be fearful of how it will all end (Tweet This)

what are we made of

kindness positivity hope belief

that all things will pass


although our shopping malls are closing

our fitness centres are dark

the sun was shining today

few people were out walking

but it was good to feel the cold

crunching the snow on yet un-cleared sidewalks


bracing against the wind

pulling up the hood on my coat


making my way back home

warm

safe

invigorated

to start a project

clean up the accumulated paper

wipe the cupboard doors


sit and watch mindless television

yes, I've discovered

it's okay in the middle of the day


read and read and read


create not consume

reflect not chase

re-set

settle in silence.

changed.
