With the whole world in chaos, the deadline for your photos on the theme of "Movement" has been extended by an extra month to the end of April.
In the meantime, here are some of your responses that you wanted to share regarding the surreal situation we all find ourselves in - including some activities to keep your brain active! I don't have all the answers to them all - yet!
In the Time of Pandemic
And the people stayed home.
And read books, and listened, and
rested, and exercised,
and made art, and played games,
and learned new ways of being,
and were still.
And listened more deeply.
Some meditated, some prayed, some
danced.
Some met their shadows.
And the people began to think
differently.
And the people healed.
And, in the absence of people
living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to
heal.
And when the danger passed, and
the people joined together again,
they grieved their losses, and
made new choices,
and dreamed new images,
and created new ways to live and
heal the earth fully,
as they had been healed.
Written by Kitty O’Meara,
inspired perhaps by an Italian poem by Irene Vella (whose immuno-depressed
husband has been ill during this period of Coronavirus).
Time to learn a new skill!
Sainsbury's social distancing plan at a quiet time!
Self isolating on Windmill Hill
"This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the
wall
Until the bitter weather
passes.
Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush
of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of
yourself
And your hesitant light.
If you remain generous,
Time will come
good;
And you will find your feet
Again on fresh
pastures of promise,
Where the air will be kind
And blushed
with beginning."
by John O'Donohue
