2020 spring
Tomas, virus and life
No school...work canceled....freedom. Holidays sort of.
Time for the very very long breakfasts? Time for gardening ? Baking? Doing all you had no time to do?
Is all food contaminated now? What can we touch? Can I shop for neighbours? Desinfect all food? Keep outside for 2 days? No flour, no pasta in the shops.
Cycling is a a good exercise. When we are not gardening, or buying pots for plants and paying with contactless only. Have I caught that virus, have they caught it from me while I was paying using contactless?
It is safer to just walk to save NHS. Watching cows, watching more cows, watching them today and tomorrow till the unforeseeable future.
No more unessential. No more changing from pyjamas when it’s raining outside. Eversamedays
You can not go to any school at any one time at all. Youtube is tutor entertainer and couch
Neighbours in panic staying inside.. scared to go outside. More and more deaths are announced on TV everyday. Is it safe to talk over the fence?
2 meter social distance and only one kind of exercise outside a day. Shopping once a week. Travelling never.
Some objects and some habits seem to be so unnecessary even funny, even wrong from this point of view..
Some sort of gratitude for doctors and shopkeepers, bin men and bakers, and milkmen and millers rediscovered in society. Clap clap. and for storytellers, and musicians and film directors and teachers?Â
Joy of finding some secret places that are still open, as if no one told them about the virus. They are my heros. Because plants need to be planted into the garden in spring.
Dreams are becoming more and more animated when outside life is limited, memories are creeping in, and it is full moon.
Crazy long talks with the people we miss to replace those meetings we can not attend no more.
Trying to keep some rituals with the help of technology. How clever is pope Francis. All real churches are locked for Easter
How bored or hungry you have to be to que for food. Using up everything that was forgotten in the cupboards. Potatoes tonight.
Someone had their 50’th birthday, someone had their 18’th
Someone had their 100’th birthday, and died the same day. No way to go there no flowers safe to send. Good bye.
Cycling and walking cycling and walking. Many new paths and roads we discover around
Unlimited uncertainty unessential
But the garden is a good friend. Birds are nesting. Fire is burning.
And all magical encounters, while on the roadexercise
And music and yoga
Rain smells so nice
Flowers showing up are much more interesting than talking heads
There were times when we used to fly.
It maybe good time now. To catch some flying thoughts
And to trim some branches. Overgrown. And to find silent ways to respect life
We will fly again....
