A LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD
Dear World,
The next four weeks we have been told to lock down. Go
nowhere except for essential places. What does that mean? For everyone it is
different. There are those of us who have a regular routine. There’s the
recluse. Then there are the reckless. Those all can take on different meanings
but we are social beings to whatever degree in the modern world. Relying on the
system to assist us. We cohabitate together, we correlate ideas together and we
congregate together for exercising, shopping, praying, eating, drinking,
socializing, celebrating and simply just loving the time we get to spend in the
world. Now we are all being told to
stop.
A virus has stricken our world. Our confidence is shaken as
Simon & Garfunkle would say. What are we going to do with that time? Sit
around and watch TV like a local ad proclaimed. Using the wrong vocabulary no
less. These days will be what you make of them so do what you can with whatever
you can. I have heard on this first day alone many goals from a plethora of
people that live far outside of my current bubble from all walks of life with
differing ways and means that make me feel positive despite living in a
lockdown. To note: It is very quiet.
We are going to share the highlights of our days in an
effort to reveal, once this is over a productive journey of mind, body and
spirit. Short stories, family, food, photos, poems, style, snippets or snacks
is what you may see as we curate a day in the life.
We invite you to submit your stories and share with the
world the magnificent and the mundane. All in good taste, of course.
See submission guidelines.
See You In Four Weeks xx
