So it's my second attempt at this blog thing ! I started it on the first day of the new year to kind of transition written notes to a tech format. After a few diligent posts entered in, now there seems to be no record of anything :). Everything is wiped clean and the tab in front of me says " new post". Almost like a reset.Which only means that the thoughts that are relevant to me today makes it into this post. Don't know if it will remain!
It is eerily similar to today's times. The world is living in the grip of the COVID 19. A sombre name with a deadly impact. Many have lost their lives, mnay grapple with the reality of this. The life we once knew, seems a distant past and the future seems unclear at the moment. It's like we are in a bubble. Many rightly say, it is a perhaps a way to slow down our lives and focus on that which is important .As i look out the window while i pen these thoughts i am fascinated by how unchanged nature is through this pandemic that is gripping the world. Trees sway, clouds pass, birds sing, the sun plays peek a boo as it pleases. Nature seems oblivious to our new reality -a virus that we cant see, cant locate - yet looms over. Yes - does feel like a bubble -except is nature in the bubble -protected, unharmed? or are we in the bubble- frozen in time and thought ? Where we truly cannot think beyond the NOW. Days seem fused together and all of us are moving along from one " now" to another. It is what it is. It always was and always will be - pandemic or no pandemic
