We all need each other a little more now. Business needs to step aside. Health matters first. People matter first.
Staying at home was something I was already doing… now that I should stay home… it feels more restricted…
What was before and how we were
Is gone for now and is no more
What is ahead and how we will
Is what will be and what’s in store
What we do now
And then again
Matters somehow
If we refrain
So many are affected
Not only the infected
What has interjected
Can no longer be rejected
The people over there
Across the sea somewhere
Were only in my prayer
But breathing the same air
The news and all reports
Across the major ports
Was varied in all sorts
And carried on passports
The flux of people grew
It’s worse than common flue
The sick they could not chew
And started dying too
Somewhere a week ago
I never thought of this
And how I live today
There’s no denying this
We only know what we are told
Beware of who is telling
The panic, fear, and shivers
Does not help if you are yelling.
Are you ok?
Ok thanks. I’ll check
Paula, you magnificently put into words what many people are feeling right now.
Thank you Joel. There’s more. An extended version on my WordPress. The link is on the Linkedin post. And then
N my post today.. I think you’d like them …
This is ‼️The Paradigm of all Time‼️
Let me know if you want the links
Thank you for reading this…
How are you managing?
I’m home alone here so I’m grateful for the Internet family❤️❤️🙏🙏
Yes by all means send me the links. I am sure it is not a great feeling to be physically alone but as you pointed out we have the internet. Now you why I get annoyed at those who tell people to disconnect from the internet and cell phones. People need people more than ever. We are managing. Food is not an issue but I have been battling a cold for the last couple of weeks. I have no fever but to be safe and keep others safe I put myself in quarantine except for taking out the garbage or reaching out the door to check the mail.
Wash hands after mail too. The virus can live on viable surfaces for up to three days. We don’t know whew it’s been..🙏🙏. I get very annoyed when my own people tell me to unplug when they don’t even have time for me…That’s like taking support out of a support group. I understand you here🙏🙏
Thank you. I sent the links via LinkedIn DM🙏
I responded
Please check to see if you got it. My comments were very complementary towards your piece
Still searching. I had a tech issue.. had to reboot. Lol
Thank you. It is in my heart to think of the hearts of others too…not everyone will be pleased and many still hold judgement…
WhTs most important now is rhat we spread awareness, not the virus! Thank you Joel. Stay safe🙏
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏
