ReplyDelete"normal life" for most.
But for us retired
Seems almost normal life
Save lifeboat for the morrow

Yes if course Jim. What stesses me is this menace hanging over our heads. The solitude and isolation i am accustomed to

Cant say about the chords...just dont forget to disinfect the guitar strings :)
ReplyDelete😊yes indeed Rall, we must heed the cautions

The strumming of our hearts can be heard in distinct ways in times such as these.
ReplyDeleteYes surely we are all in this together. Its a World thing

Good question. It feels very unsettling

Oh, Gillena, this is sweet! I can hear the strumming of normalcy, even though you question its existence. As Julian of Norwich said: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen, thanks for this confidence Maggie

I really like this, Gillena. The music of these words continues strumming in my heart, somehow...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your appreciation Jenna

What is interesting is how the people in different countries react to the crisis. In Australia people are aware of the danger with the government closing down shops, churches and cafes, etc and trying to get people staying home, schools and churches closing, cafes closing and cash transactions frowned on. Group meets are not encouraged at all. In addition borders between states are closed too to most.
ReplyDeleteSame hère and group are narrowed to no more than 5 people. We have to walk with IDs on leaving the house. We csn be questioned as to where we are going or coming from
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Robin

Fortunately, I'm an introvert. I love being home and solitude soothes me. I am lucky that way. Life hasn't changed too much, though I do miss the normalcy of being with friends once in a while.
ReplyDeleteYes i understand totally. Thanks for dropping by Myrna

Beautifully put!
ReplyDeleteLike Myrna, I'm basically an introvert who actually needs a lot of alone time, and my life also has changed little – and friends have been good with phone calls and video chat.
It's pretty much the same here, except for the ID. It boggles my mind how this spread over the entire world in a month's time. Bless you and bless Trinidad. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped by Rodemary
