COVID19

UNFORTUNATE is what has befallen the human race.  COVID19 has caused such a disruption to the world that was never anticipated. Every strategic playbook of the first to the third world governments has a plan on how how to deal with threats to the economy and it's  citizens but an attack of this nature. What does tomorrow hold, how long will it take for normalcy to resume, what will be the new normal? Living in this age, embracing a new paradigm in approaching our goals and the  future is inevitable. One learns that very few things are important in life, lest you lose control pursuing stress.

A time of reflection. In the spheres of silence and meditation. Summoning peace and refocusing the compass. Exams were to start next week. Learning however continues, even as we pray for the badly hit, those with patients battling  COVID19 and other ailments, those who have lost their loved ones and the first in line to  help fight corona. Stay at home to protect all of us and help ease the the work of medical professionals putting their lives on the line.

Yiskah, Jessica.

HERE is a short poem I wrote about the sun
Of the perfect sojourner it is  
Never despairing in this lonely star trek
Shining to the true north across a dry wilderness 
Yiskah, not losing sight of the future
From the same milieu as billion others of the milky way
Yet journeys alone unapologetically
Misunderstood, when being nice and smiley
Chastised, in times of solitude and tranquillity 
Very few can soar high enough to understand 
Shining or raining they seek
Regardless of the social distance 
Only those matter in the end
Only those matter now
Only those mattered from the beginning 
Keep shining 
Keep soaring
Keep seeking
A benevolent star
A giver
The greatest symbol of hope.
