Been in quarantine for the past five days since contracting the infamous Covid-19. Fortunately, there’s a spare room to accommodate this solitude away from the family. The wife is negative, the kids (doggies) are strong, but the mind has become vulnerable. Not even a hint of THC to escape reality. Within this unknown territory, the inner dialogue takes its course. The good, the bad, the ugly; thoughts shuffle through a playlist of what if’s, why’s, and how. Face to face with such torment, I fight. It’s delusional to allow fear to run amuck. No freedom in this. Push up, sit up, and continue to breath; I begin to feel life again… a smile creeps in. Taking measure of what the body needs, self is rejuvenated. Play is now back at the forefront. Accept everything. Dance with the present! I press on.
