Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
Time is not a metronome that ticks out its message regardless of circumstances. It is more like jazz, that is written in musical script with eighth notes and sixteenth notes, but is played sometimes before the beat, and sometimes held long after. It changes with mood. It changes with the surroundings. It changes with the combo with whom you’re playing. Jazz is boring if it sticks to the beat. Sometimes I wish life were more boring, and would stick to a script. Living in the time of Covid-19 is totally off script and free-wheeling, yet in some ways it takes us back to an old story that we are now repeating. Making my own bread, my own yogurt, playing card and table games, doing Sudoku and jigsaw puzzles are from the old days. But now, instead of filling time, it has become a way of living through slower time. When I ask myself, where did the whole month of April disappear to, I answer that I accomplished little, except staying well, making meals from scratch, keeping in contact with friends and loved ones, and enjoying the beautiful spring. It’s okay if that feels slow. I am ready for it. --Cynthia
