Lockdown Time

Lockdown Time

 

Some things just are

Until they are gone or done

Death is surely such a thing 

that each and 

every one of us shall one day

fear no more

Author's Note

I hear that we have now lost almost 130,000 souls to C19 a shocking and unnecessary number ... may each one of them now rest in peace ...

We know that life = more often or not has a painful start and, it can have an equally painful finish. The between space is where we learn whatever.. What has been happening, what is happening, is tragic.. know of it closely but and say this with absolute respect, we need to somehow survive as individuals each morning when we wake whenever.. and then once cuppa~d, help others to see what there still is. Am not, not, NOT meaning to be fairy about the pandemic, dear Lord, anything but.. cannot and won't. But, whilst we are alive, knowing that there'll be a time when we'll disappear over the horizon, we really must look towards it and cheer. Surely? Somehow..

.... possibly, surely somehow .. maybe .. and in the meantime, I thank you emmajoy for popping in and considering my little scribble :)

[emmajoy]

Is far more than a little scribble.. i read your words and just messaged.. maybe should have thought far more.

good morning Neville.. in the end it really isn't so complicated is it.. I choose to believe that we lost all those lives to politics.. C19 was just the weapon that was used.. somewhere it is said that we must leave death to the dead and life to the living.. perhaps now that vaccination is the hope of the day we can turn to the task of figuring out how we will live with each other.. and maybe not.. we still haven gotten over the civil war so I do have my doubts..

[Neville]

.. it is my view that there are many views .. not all of them clear .. much like as ever ......... thanks for stopping by my friend ... tis much appreciated ... Neville

[olla]

yes my friend.. as many views as there are the people who have them.. I miss the days when we could respectfully agree to disagree and still smile in passing.. have a very good day.. whenever your day comes..

[Neville]

... bless you dear olla .. I shall endeavour to try :)

How amazing how so much can be said in just 4 lines!

We don't really die, you know ;-) we transform, and with every transformation our higher conscious get better and better!

Honourable tribute Neville to those that has passed, may they arrive in peace, and may God comfort the hearts of those that cry for their lost. Thank you!

Stay hopeful!
Sil

I am delighted you alighted on my recent scribble my friend .. I also like your take on what happens once we have for whatever reason left these shores ...
I am indeed blessed and remain ever hopeful..

All Good Things Neville :)

Death is inevitable so no point in fearing it, but when we see the suffering that made us feel. Covid is such a time and situation where death danced a reckless dance. .. So I think it has become a reality to accept death.. It's no longer an uncomfortable situation to bear or hear. But each life is precious... So this fight with death... A sombre write here

[Neville]

it is not a bunch of cherries, is it and I seriously suspect it is those rose tinted spectacles that at the end of the day will make all the difference ... ...... until confirmed, or contested .. I seriously thank you ..

Yes life is very very precious and our system failed to protect this... Hope this suffering ends soon

[Poetic Beauty]

Many people do fear death. But one day it will be over

[Neville]

........... Thanks for checking in PB ..

I never feared death, not in the past not now not in the future :) people should understand that fear destroys them, mentally, emotionally and physically. may we all rest in peace, here and in the other side.

[Neville]

I have never feared my own demise either .. it is others I fear losing more ... thank you my friend for checking in :)

Covid has spread fear as well as disease.. In the early days I felt it acutely. Now it is more apprehension, but then things have moved on and we have vaccines being rolled out now. Then there was fear when my brother in law went into hospital and contracted the virus while in there, and subsequently dying from it. Our family is one of 130,000 who have lost a loved one in the UK. Some families have lost more than one relative. We have been crippled as a nation and throughout the world. The fear of something out of control and multiplying by the minute is science fiction stuff and yet we have experienced it. Let us remember those souls no longer with us on a bright Sunday morning and let us also remember where this disease started and the cover up in notifying the rest of the world with what was happening. Weeks in this case had devastating consequences. It hurts doesn't it, it is fearful. Thankfully those who have gone suffer no more, they are at rest. Those of us still here have got to pick up the pieces and move on. That's all there is.

Thank you Neville for thoughtfully paying tribute to those lost.
