Curtis Johnson Poet Light Verse

A Good 'Craziness'

I believe that I can truly say that 2020 is the "Craziest Time In" my life time experience. I must refer to 'Craziest' as a word of both doom and gloom as well as 'Unusual'. I say that because I want to demonstrate both the 'Ups and Downs' of 2020.

There is and has been a certain 'craziness', but there is an aspect of 'A Good Craziness'. I know that our experience is mild by comparison, but the French Revolution comes to mind. I remember saying on more than one occasion that 'It feels like the twilight zone', and mildly speaking, in Charles Dickens' words, "It is the worst of times and the best of times".                                                                                            

The Coronavirus COVID 19 is the meanest, deadliest, scariest, and most far-reaching threat to mankind ever experienced in my lifetime. It is the best of times because I have witnessed more heroics, more 'love expressions', more people and families pulling together for our common good. I have witnessed more Christians coming to the realization of The True and Living God who resides deep in our hearts, and that He really does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Many heroes have emerged and their actions truly are "love expressions." Where would we be without them. There are times when I worry that we'll never conquer the illness. I admire your faith as well as your writing. Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
