It’s Funny How
It’s funny how precariously balanced our world is
And yet we search for patterns
Formed into habit and say
This is normal
And then, if it is disrupted
We cry foul
Unfair and either it returns
Or we adapt to the new normal
Remember how hard it was to stay inside
To wear a mask and ration our shopping and work
Remember how hard it was
To remove that same mask
For the first time
Only a short time later
Oh, the anxiety it brought
Thoughts
Six years since Covid. It felt it would never end at the time. I’m sure it never did for so many families who lost loved ones.
The picture is a reminder that our earth is subject to seismic changes and we are just passing through.
