Getting the Better of Covid-19
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber
It
is looking increasingly unlikely that the world will be rid of Covid-19 and its
variants any time soon, in spite of vaccines becoming available; no one seems
to know just how effective certain vaccines will prove to be against this
strain or that.
Be sure that mind-body-spirit will do its best to see us through whatever lies ahead.
In the meantime, we can but give ourselves and each other the best chances of survival by following whatever restrictions intended to make us safe(er) rather than follow our more natural instinct to do our own thing…
The world is more unsafe than it has been for centuries; subsequently humanity has a collective responsibility to show that it can work together and rise above its various socio-cultural-religious differences instead of using them as tools and/ or excuses, to make a bad situation worse.
Fat chance of that, do I hear you say? Well, maybe… but where there’s life, there’s always hope; it has always been hope, as well as love and kindness that not only keeps the happier heart beating, but also comprises the better part of who we are, the part that saves us from going into freefall.
Take care, be safe and keep well,
Hugs,

GETTING THE BETTER OF COVID-19
I
love the sunny side
of
the street, nodding and chatting
to
people I meet,
if
only simply passing the time
of
day, give or take
little
else to say likely to raise a smile
while
a coronavirus
chases
up our every move, left or right,
anywhere,
by day or night
Covid-19
also prefers
to
haunt the sunny side of the street,
but
I’ll not be fooled
into
thinking there’s any safety
in
the shade
beyond
making sure I wear my mask
correctly,
nose and mouth
covered
completely, no fashion accessory,
but
a social responsibility
Safer
to stay indoors
if
we can, but there are key workers
on
whom we rely
continue
to take risks (do or die)
for
all our sakes,
a
selflessness putting any to shame
whose
conspiracy theories
appeal
to the (universally) significant few
left
anxiously begging a clue
Though all the world
in pain and grieving, a Beacon of Hope
that is love will
see us
through to
whatever end in store,
whoever, wherever
we are, its truth making
itself known
and felt in such
ways
as sure to inspire
us all our days, the nearer
for our sharing,
and the dearer
