Confined
and home alone? I have Beethoven and
Chopin
who speak to me musically. And too, I am
blessed
with one pup left who wiggly-tailed, warm
and
cozy keeps me company.
For
many of us who are restricted by age and disability,
living
our lives with modified capabilities is a daily routine.
And
due to the worldwide spread of the viral COVID-19
many
of you who thrive on outside activity find yourselves
sheltered
in place avoiding contact with the rest of society.
For
many Humans whoflourish on outside activity, it is
not
easy to live their daily lives this way. Now you have
some
idea what so many shut-ins go through routinely
day
after day. Many of us have leaned to adapt and to
explore
different ways to communicate.
I
read and write, listen and watch to maintain a semblance
of
sanity. I relate with you and a select few on Facebook
and
other sites electronically available to me. Occasionally
a
phone call, and frequently the Internet to connect. I typi-
cally
employ authors in print, music, movies, news and edu-
cational
programs on TV.
And
of course, you may have noticed there are those sub-
missions
of a little poetry written daily by me to join with
you
at the speed of light across our vast country electron-
ically.
I
own a basic flip phone, not one of those Smart ones. I can
receive
calls and texts, yes. For smarts I rely on what common
sense
I have left. I let Google and Alexa handle all the rest.
Until
we meet again, be safe and keep the faith. Nothing, not
even
evil viruses and incompetent presidents last forever.
