Why wait for the sun to shine?
Why wait for the ice to melt?
The world still turns on its axis,
The water still flows in its bed.
The more you wait on the edge of a cliff,
The more your strength of will grows.
When rivers and planets
Flow and spin in their space,
The time for action’s movements
Are in the present’s place.
Don’t dwaddle in indecision
Plan to activate motion’s gift,
And blow a kiss to your miss.
You will be for sure on her list.
In these times of Covid-19, there is definetly a lack of physical contact in the world today. Instead of a handshake, a hug, or a kiss, we are elbow-bumping. There is the question of how to have a relationship without touching. Eventually, life will get back to “normal”, and we will have more freedom. One thing this epedemic has made us aware of, is how easily disease is transmitted from one person to another. And there will always be some illness that comes up that the human being does not have an immunity for. There is a time and place for every challenge and success. There is nature too; it has resiliancy and tends to change the evolution of its creatures to combat different climate or health issues. The main thing is to have hope, and not loose focus for the future. Take care of yourself and be concious of the needs of the whole.
