Enjoying Mandatory Solitude

Enjoying my solitude the best I can
Nurturing myself gently
Without family or friends
I love this I think
For a moment or two

The moment long gone, I am gone
Entertaining myself daily used to be fun
Before the Coronado Virus 
Solitude made me thrive.
Now I’m not sure I am completely alive.

Don't worry Caren, its the same allover the globe, facinating when you think a microscopic organism has brought us to our knees. Thank god for the Internet. Stay safe. Tom.

I have no idea what has but I am begging God to give us a cure, an out, a bit of normalcy. Whatever we have done, I feel we have truly learned our lesson.

What I miss most is not having friends over for dinner as I enjoy cooking for others. Enjoying food and company has a long tradition besides being one of life's great pleasures. Also, solitude is to the creative mind what food is to hunger. So we should make the best of it. Thanks for stopping by, Karen. / M
