Coffee and words.

The heat of the day has fallen. The beginning of May has been surprisingly warm, record breaking even. Everyone is gardening, and setting up patio lights.

There's been this false security here however, even within myself, from which you wouldn't know there's a pandemic occurring in British Columbia out from the regular movement of citizens-that being said we as a province have done due diligence earlier on with the flattening of the curve, and continue to see numbers go down. But we have also been warned that we are not at the end of the pandemic yet, and need to be mindful of others and patient while we slowly go through the stages of reopening. So far we are days away from being allowed to be in a group of six, preferably outdoors, and sitting a distance from one another. 

It all sounds so foreign, this time in our life. Twitter reminds me just how challenging it is for others, especially in other countries.
In some cases I couldn't bear seeing anymore tragic news coming out from America, especially the State of New York, which seems a million light years away from us, though on the other hand, it feels like just around the corner when it comes to sharing a pandemic, and 'being in this together.' 

There's those heartfelt and funny stories coming out of this time too, I find myself filling my time online with the little tides of happiness and inspiration. There's really good people out there! sometimes in small compassionate circles, and even..with some unlikely people. I'll leave this post at that, with good people.
