tim's Bits and Pieces - 57. Small World

I know that some will learn from this. It's impossible not to internalize at least bits of the message sent to our world.

We'll get through this. I'm glad you're safe, and that you and Mike have each other. 💓

tim 

thank you for this .
we all are feeling this sense of loss.

hoping this ends soon. 

thank you

Your words express my yearning to be on the other side of the window. The yard is blue with flowers, and my old bird friends are returning. Will we be different when all this ends? I surely hope so. xx oo

Your words make me realise how much I miss my freedom, and yearn for this all to be over and done with. Take care in these strange times x

The earth will not miss us. Definitely not.

Yet we might still correct our course and aim for a future, not just a present. We might, though I doubt it.

Love your poems!

Thanks Tim. Your poem nicely reflects what most of us feel. I am happy to be in my home. I think of the other places where I could be. I have been outside. Once to shop with my mask in place. Once for a dog walk with my neighbor, working to keep our social distancing. I especially enjoyed the last section about the earth healing. I have wondered the same thing. The people in my home are well. Knock on wood. I hope you and Michael are staying safe and healthy.

I am glad to see you writing even a little bit. Even about this damnable virus. Top predators, as we are, are in precarious place really. Doesn't take much to bring us down.  But we are safe boy, and I will do whatever I need to, to keep you that way.

It's hard staying home so much, but it's what had to be done. Hugs, Parker xo

i wish i could go out for dinner with Michael. We'd planned to next week, but that won't happen.  But that's okay, we all need to think of others and do the right thing. i glad you and yours are well. Stay healthy, Jeffrey xo Thanks for reading and for your comments.

your words always move me tim, they are a gift every time i read them

this part:

Home is a gentle prison

and I stare outside

only a watcher of the world

made my breath catch! i've been feeling this way, hemmed in and ansty.
luckily the weather has been good so we've gone for a couple of drives. going nowhere, just down the highway to get some fresh air. but always back here to the house

it will be over, and many will be changed, let's hope it's enough

thank you, molly ... for your support and comments.  i did feel antsy earlier on, but these days it's a feeling of resignation, i guess.  i did enjoy those few hours off yesterday ... xoxo

I especially liked The Earth.  But I am afraid the last line is a prophecy 

You have given eloquent voice to what most of us are feeling. Contrasts of inside/outside make great metaphor for the crisis we are enduring. But as you suggest, hope is All.

As always, thank you for sharing your gift with us 

I want to send you the biggest virtual hug I can, and one for Mike too. I'm lucky that I've got the horses I care for as my companions through this and I wish I could share that with you. I do miss the human contact though, some of the time. The house is too quiet without my boy or our friends around.
