Our towns and cities will revive. It won't be straightforward, all bets are off...opinions and ideas will be many, various and unrealistic. Needs must be patient...and listen, listen and understand the desired result. Collaboration, consideration and consensus. Are such goals unattainable?
Indeed...Sadness permeates all of the closed schools, park playgrounds, tennis courts and especially the students who wanted to so badly finish their school year in WA where I live.
Such a lovely photo and so poignant that children now stay inside instead of delighting in the joys of childhood! Let's Keep them healthy to enjoy another day!
Your words are so beautiful yet it saddens me no end. Our kids here in SA are locked behind the walls of their homes. Your words on Lou Anne's post really hit home, killing us all softly.
@jocasta Thank you very much! @s4sayer They are, apart for a few morons out there... @seattlite Indeed. Here there is voice that school will not start again with up-front classes even in September. @helenhall Never lived in such an uncertain time. @Weezilou Indeed. We need to get to the other side of this in good health. And that’s all. @jgpittenger Thank you. Indeed. @golftragic And uncertain. This uncertainty is killing me.
@ludwigsdiana Thank you very much, Diana! There is a paradoxical feel, here, with glorious sunny days of warm and gentle breeze and the silence and gloomy feeling of being stuck in front of a computer. Not that it would be too different if we were allowed to go to work but, as I wrote above, it’s the uncertainty that is killing us!
I like all the pictures of this series, because they touch me deeply, but this one is so beautiful and painful at the same time. The glory of springtime and the lack of screams and laughter of children rediscovering the warm weather. I still remember the joy of substituting long sleeved sweaters with lighter short sleeved shirts... you are right uncertainty dominates, but, especially up here in the North, it’s clear that phase 2 cannot start yet. I will give a fav to all of these sad photos!
@domenicododaro You're absolutely right there Domenico, I think the uncertainty, or perhaps more accurately multiple uncertainties, is likely the worst (non-infectious) aspect of this whole crisis. Everyone (with any intelligence) is on edge and more than a trifle frightened. Add to that the cultural shock of adhering to the new strict and more than a trifle authoritarian rules and regulations and we have a real devils' brew of anxiety.
@overalvandaan They are, as a matter of fact... @caterina Isn’t it? And now we will continue like this for another 23 days. Or more... Thank you so much, be well. @golftragic Precisely so!
