Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, an 1887 painting by Viktor Vasnetsov. From left to right are Death, Famine, War, and Conquest; the Lamb is at the top.
The fear of the Coronavirus…the media seems to be saying that we are experiencing the appearance of the dreadful horseman of pestilence and death.
Possibly. It sure seems so each and every day.
Possibly. I really don’t know.
And like each and every one of you, I won’t know until we move through this time and come out on the other side.
But I can tell you, I still enjoy walking on the farm with Beaglie, sometimes Terry and Mindy. But always with Boomer
I love the long shadows the clean and silver moon-light throws behind the bushes, the trees, and the equipment
The movement of the clouds tangling with the moonlight, covering the moon
Silvering light which lights up the world
Making the world seem as if we are sailing closer to the moon each and every night
Growing larger, then grower smaller.
Each day a marvelous gift to you and me.
I pray that your God is with you, I thank my God for all my blessings!
Amen.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Oh, yeah. Our local library has shut down. A friend of mine just told me that they shut down our local park connected to our Riverwalk. We have three grocery stores that have been cleared, one of them our local organic market. Those folks are on the money. We get emails about updates and they are open & stocking. They reduced their hours but, they are with it.
The rest of what’s going on? Honestly, we are under undeclared martial law.

Yes. The dental offices, the eye doctors, all restaurants and bars, any building that is government, library, etc. is closed here. The Hair Saloons have been ordered to only have two clients on the floor at one time and be spaced far, far apart. It is insane.
So now there are masses, and masses, and masses of people at the hardware store, gas stations, and all the big box stores and grocery stores.
The schools are all closes
The kids running amuck on the streets and at Wal Mart.
It doesn’t make sense to me.

None of this makes sense. But, that just tells me something else is going on.

No panic in this household. I refuse to pander to the unreasoning fear the media is spewing. We always take the kind of precautions recommended, it’s a good habit to have in the first place and makes it much easier with the evident spreading illness. I find the panic buying and hoarding sad. Don’t these people know that their fear affects their immune system?
Stay well!

What a lovely post in the midst of all this doom, gloom, and anxiety. This isn’t 1918, WWII, the polio epidemics, etc. Get a grip. We are locked down here in parts of CA. I heard one official give all the rules; then he was asked what else we could do, and he said to turn off our TVs. Good advice. Thanks for sharing all your calming and inspiring posts.

I’m taking it in stride too. Doing as I should always do with a compromised health system and being a bit careful about my environment but this is off the charts crazy. I keep plenty of what I need anyway and was expecting company that can’t travel now so I won’t run out for quite some time. I walk outside in the daytime just to get some air but your walks would be more lovely. I loved the moon we had. I’m glad you have so many fuzzy friends to walk with. Keep taking care of yourselves. Hopefully it will be behind us soon enough. There is a deep lesson here and not many get it yet.
