The Covid pandemic turned many long-brewing ideas into burning desires for me. The itch to get things done heightened as the days dragged on and the national death numbers climbed. While unable to visit family and friends during lockdown, I pondered the tenuous connectedness of society, and now with the war in Ukraine, I’m again reminded, even more strongly, of this fact. Life is fragile, and the constructs we build protectively around it are only as sturdy as we make them. We can tear them down at any moment. This is a sobering thought. Most of us have no control over certain happenings around the world or even in our own cities and towns, and when I contemplate this, my own life feels a bit off balance. I help where I can and hope my small contributions will make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. In reality, my sphere of influence is limited, as it is for most of us. Sometimes, though, these size-of-a-ladybug insights create waves difference.
That was a very moving entry 😊 My creativity has struggled a lot during the pandemic. I get ideas, but have little motivation to actually work on them. I’ve been ill this entire month and I’m just trying to get through each day. Hopefully in August my health will improve and I can get back to creating again.
Thanks, Daisy Anne! Yeah, the pandemic has really thrown a lot of writers and artists off their game. I'm sorry you haven't been well. I hope you get better soon and are able to get back to creating. Wishing you the best!
