Breaking Quarantine Barriers

Your smile beams beyond our borders
Seeping through our untouchable air
Blaring through the beast of fear
Nearer than an arm pat or handshake
Breaking quarantine barriers

You have shown that beauty can be found even in the darkest of places; one only needs to recognize it. I love how you captured it in a signal smile. I hope all is well and stay safe. JC Hawkens

Yep, if only. Strange times. I've still been working with the public and one of my customers always has the warmest smile. Still we keep our distance. Nice to give and receive the depth of a smile.

Thanks, Arturo. Just a little jot. Whether it be a Skyped smile or a picture of one on social media, it can brighten someone's day. Originally had the intent of smiling face to face at a six foot distance. Either way, keep a positive attitude. God has our time in His hands and will protect you if it's not yet your time to go.
