Time and Place

Now nature’s intervened, it’s time to take stock.
Seems there is much more time on the clock.
Embrace this quality space.
Get off the rat race!
Move to this
place
of sheer bliss.
No pressure to face,
just live life at your own pace.
So, be bold and this you can unlock.
Now nature’s intervened, it’s time to take stock.

Having more time has been a blessing. For some, they can’t cope with the changes and they are having the most difficulty with not working or working within the confines of wearing a mask. Congratulations on your wonderful second place win Simon!

Hi Jenna - Yes that's true - shame many don't respect and nurture nature.
