Designing Your Life under COVID
If you are like most of us under COVID19, you may have been waiting for life to return to normal: going back to the office, visiting clients across the world, taking kids to school in the morning, shopping without masks as often as you choose to, having friends over for a meal in the dining room, going to an exercise class, attending a sports event or a conference in person, hugging friends and many more activities currently out of reach or with limitations. But, you now have been waiting for months, and for those of us who live in the United States, it looks like we will have a few more months of waiting.
Crossing a Creek by Martha Courtot
crossing a creek
requires 3 things:
a certain serenity of mind
bare feet,
and a sure trust
that the snake we know
slides silently
underwater
just beyond our vision
will choose to ignore
the flesh
that cuts through
its territory
and we will pass through
some people think crossing a creek
is easy,
but I say this—
all crossings are hard,
whether creeks, mountains,
or into other lives
and we must always believe
in the snakes at our feet
just out of our vision
and we must practice believing
we will come through.
