Extraordinary situation. Uncertainty. Waiting. Cancellations. Not many options. Split-second decision. Jump on a plane, take a train, arrive. Back home. No final goodbye. Fourteen months over, just like that. Plans change. Everything changes. Even so, everything is still the same. Seamless transition to a new routine. Too many projects. Nowhere to go. Too much news. Information overload. Confusion. No welcome back hugs. No grandma visits. Instead, more Skype calls. I’d thought we were done with those for a while. New trend words. Social distancing. Limited radius of movement. At the same time, I don’t feel like going very far. Losing my drive. Hanging in the air. Lots of time. Too much time? Time to think. Time to relax, time to write, time to pull out weeds, listen to good music, declutter, get back to piano playing. Time for myself. Time to tell ourselves: Hang on in there.
