Long Distance Connection

crowds illegal
gatherings banished
events cancelled
church forbidden
handshake hesitation
hugs unwelcome
touch diminishing

connection seeking
kindness desired
generosity needed
prayers embraced
smiles still legal
laughter not banished
phone calls welcome

Kai Michael Neumann Date: 3/19/2020 6:01:00 AM Great one. This morning I had trouble to connect to the internet. Can you imagine shutdown without the web? As so often, my wife got it working. Kind wishes, Kai Login to Reply Juliet Ligon Date: 3/20/2020 7:15:00 PM Would be hard to be without the web now that we've gotten so used to it. Hopefully this shutdown won't drag out too long. Strange times.

Sandra Adams Date: 3/17/2020 3:10:00 PM we are under bans, schools closed, non essential businesses closed, restaurants only allowed to have take out or delivery.. no large gatherings...no gyms or theaters are opened...drs won't even see the sick... mine want video visits...it made me decide to cancel a test for tomorrow that could leave me needing help and being unable to receive it... stay safe my friend... hugs Login to Reply Juliet Ligon Date: 3/18/2020 2:58:00 PM Same here. I wonder if we live in the same state, but then again maybe it's that way all over now. Stay healthy. Poetic hugs.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 3/17/2020 1:51:00 PM Hello Juliet Ligon, I do not blame you for being scared. We have a lot of shut downs here in Canada. Schools are closed down. All events are closed down.Super markets shelves are barely full. Hospitals are crowded. Have a nice day my friend.
