Lockdown stories

It was all there in folders, on my computer. The dream of writing a book had been percolating for years. All i needed was the time to put all the ideas and information in order and stitch it all together into something that could be shared with the world. I used the 'forced isolation' to finally write and publish the book. "I Breathe Therefore I AM" goes to press in August 2021. Lockdown helped me become and Author. There is always a gift hidden inside adversity, an opportunity inside hard times, good fortune inside bad fortune, a greater sense in something that seems to make no sense, and an excuse to grow and change into the person we want to become. Stay strong... because you are already safe. Breathe Deep My Friends

Since the lockdown started I've been offered working from home which was pain at the beginning coz I'm very sociable person and I like talking to others face to face. Now since the lifted restrictions I'm able to work in hybrid model but nobody from my team wants to go back to the office. Even if they did, nobody would be able to sit next to each other. This is not what team work is. Is it just me or there is anyone like me thinking that working from home is killing teams and how they interact. I hate all these chats and that I have to book a meeting with someone instead just pop in and chat with them at their desk!

Call me an eternal Optimist, but I have welcomed the last year’s “new normal” as opportunity to enhance my spiritual and scientific awareness. I realised how I have neglected my continuous learning and life skills over the past decades, as the repetitive daily habits and business presses have taken priority. Meditative lonely moments, have replaced the public transport chaos and seeing the important things in life has overtaken the minor daily frustrations linked to the hectic city existence. I thank God for all the Health and Knowledge sent my way.

Let me flip the coin...what if all this is happening for a reason...what if the reason is that nature/god/mother earth/jahve/manitou/...is atually having enough of us and our selfish destroying of our beautiful world...epidemics and pandemics hapenned before...not like this? We didnt have means to all know instantly what is happening in a distant part of the world...natural disasters, wars and similar normally bring people together...this one just emphasize how selfish we become...the main thing on peoples mind is travelling...ok, we are nomads by design but nomads for food, shelter not pleasure...only 20% of population have means of doing that...half of the rest work this 20% for pittance..can we not sit out one summer? See this out?
