"Love is a symbol of Eternity ...
but soon or late Death
shatters that illusion."
- Irene Dupre
So many hearts have been scarred by
the lethal grasp of Covid-19,
tearing apart 2 hearts
that had become one.
After 13 months of Covid Isolation,
Valentine's Day can be terribly lonely.
"All I want is a hug," some lament.
"The touch of another
caring hand on mine."
Small acts of kindness to others
can pull us out of
our loneliness and isolation.
Love is around you always ...
just perhaps not in the
form you think of as love
Pets. work friends,
old friends from childhood.
Solitude can bring peace
if the mind can find
embers of past love
to recall.
Do you know someone who is lonely,
missing a lost loved one?
Take a moment this
Valentine's Day
to touch base with them,
to let them know
they are not forgotten.
that they matter to someone.
Hi Roland - glad you're a bit more settled ... we need to look after each other and remember others' needs ... especially in these times. Look after yourself and Midnight - all the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteUnsettled is more like it... I am on solo call with a severe winter front bringing rare snow, ice, and strong wind gusts. Most drivers here do not know how to drive on ice and snow ... and we are warned of a 3 inch accumulation of both. First double hurricanes, now this deadly winter storm. Mother Nature seems intent on ending me. Wow.
