The world seems to be spinning faster with everything happening right now. The pandemic, politics and lockdowns mean that any planning has to be put on hold. A hold and a spin, two concepts that don't seem to correspond yet, right now, they do.
I was explaining to a new friend today what I was up to and I noticed my sentence drift off when she asked when will I be moving...
The country's provinces are locked. No crossing rivers nor borders.
Destination?
Plans?
Like so many people at the moment, death knocked at the larger family's door. Not due to the virus, but a weakened heart, a broken body. A woman leaving behind a scarred family grappling a new future without their sibling, mother, wife. Grief is a new challenge for them as they pick themselves up from the floor of despair.
The challenge of life is living with death.
No one is spared. The world continues it's spin while the grieving are stuck in slow motion. The axis tilts as hours turn into days where it seems like the grieving scramble to stay behind in the past. Because that is where their loved ones live.
A pause for me as I observe the loved ones grapple with this new emotion which I have been acquainted with for too long. Tomorrow my spin will return...
