moving purposefully
in this small space
determined
idle productivity
everything
and everyone
standing still
while the world shifts
close contact
feels extinguished
but not
the craving
a need for warmth
in a world
that seems to
have gone cold
a temporary situation
they say
hopefully
this depression is too
May you all have enough distance to be safe and
connected with sufficient love to remain sane.
Thoughtful and heartfelt, Susi.

Wow, I was thinking the same thing, that hopefully this coldness will just be temporary. I was wondering how or if people will transition back to being physically warm and approachable again after. #FreeHugs

I think we’ll be starving for it and completely ready to receive/give affection! I’m right there with ya – #FreeHugs!

That’s a great way of putting it – “we’ll be starving for it. . .” I agree!

The currency of words get a new lease of life as touch and body language become a victim of physical distancing. AR and VR will gain higher traction than anticipated.
