The Doldrums




Nautical terms cross my mind as Cheryl and I deal with the current CORVID-19 pandemic. Becalmed, adrift, lost moorings are some terms that come to mind. At times the doldrums set in as the wind has been taken out of our sails. Thinking of lifeboats adrift which may open us to other realities as in the book, The Life of Pi. Or we just sit and weather it out coming finally to land on a whole unknown world with eyes and expectations changed. We live our lives in a trance and big events interfere with our plans. 9/11, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, assassinations, The Depression. All come to mind that have changed us and our institutions. 

 Where will we go from here?
