On a cloudy day…

The road twists and turns

then it disappears.

At a distance it blurs,

I’m walking on that road, with me, are my long time companions.

The birds are chirping, I cannot see them.

The sun is shining, it is hiding behind a cloud.

I am searching for rainbows and blue skies.

With a sigh, I reach out and push through the bush.

A sliver of light filters in.

Like the pages of a beautiful picture book the landscape changes from blurry to bright.

All it took was a sliver of light and a few determined steps towards it.

Hope, ever encompassing hope, is the only path to light, away from darkness and despair.

Also included in it is the ever-changing Melbourne weather! 🙂

Corona Tales

Therefore this is not about statistics or details regarding COVID 19. What I wanted to share today is how this virus is making me emotionally so insecure!

I love being on Facebook looking at relevant sites, reading what is going on in other parts of the world from my friends or family. However, ever since Corona struck I don’t quite enjoy that experience. As a habit sometimes I do log in, each time exiting hurriedly like a someone has punched a blow on my face.

With my parents being in another country, sometimes it shakes me to the core to think will it ever be possible to visit them again? What if something happens to them, will I be by their side? This thought returned with force as I logged into facebook to find my childhood friend’s mother has died. I don’t know the intimate details but fear like a cold finger touched my heart again. Unable to go anywhere with free will, unable to even contemplate international travel, never ever in my life did I have hopelessness stare me right in the face.

Not generally a very optimistic person this situation is ripping apart my sanity! I guess many could relate to it. I guess many could say “Be positive”!

I try and try and the process is on, with so much despair around I’m finding it hard!
