What In The World!?!

Simple pleasures are no longer simple. Even your daily cup of coffee isn’t the same because you can no longer make it yourself. Social gatherings will be missed -- weddings canceled, funerals canceled (how can a funeral be canceled?), marathons postponed and more daily interactions for people to cherish that were supposed to happen and didn't. What about our graduates? They’ve worked so hard to make themselves and parents proud; but there may not be a graduation. Many people are frustrated or scared, wondering when can life feel more normal again. We are no longer in full control of our lives right now.

Boy oh Boy, the things we take for granted. While some of us are still working, many wish they could go to their respective place of work. The disconnect from the world due to the lack of traveling. Not being with your loved one as they take their final breath. Some birthdays are being celebrated alone. Our peace has been disturb.

In order to regain normalcy, we have to do our part to keep this virus from getting worse. Through all the panic, we have learned a lot about hygiene, how viruses work, and how easily our worlds can be flipped upside down overnight.

”We fell asleep in one world, and woke up in another. Suddenly Disney is out of magic, Paris is no longer romantic, New York doesn’t stand up anymore, the Chinese wall is no longer a fortress, and Mecca is empty.

Hugs and kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting our loved ones has become an act of love.

Suddenly you realize that power, beauty and money are worthless, and can’t get you the oxygen you’re fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful. It only puts humans in cages. I think it’s sending us a message:

“You are not necessary. The air, earth, water and sky are without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my Pilots.” -Sisanda Qwabe-Coutaud
