This is a time to try new skills, right? What I really like … what I really like is … Do I even know? So near yet so far. The struggle of social distancing has weighed on my mind a lot. A LOT. Watching news from all over the world has become a new addiction. I’m an ambivert: I miss the balance of human interaction and contact. I take comfort in trying to watch the shadows of life getting on. So near yet so far. What will I do when this is over? Love, forgive, let go. Listen, listen to friends, listen to my body, listen to nature, listen, listen, listen. What will I do when this is over? Will it be over? So near yet so far.
