How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
The pandemic messed with all of us. To put it plainly. People acted out differently, but they acted out. Some sheltered within their minds. Others became even more boisterous.
When the pandemic first hit, I was distraught. I worked in healthcare and had a huge task before me. One that not everyone understood. Not one that everyone appreciated. Many still don’t appreciate the enormous lift. And, for a while, that bothered me. I let the disrespectful and unforgiving behaviors and thoughts of others steal the joy I should have felt from some of the accomplishments. I figured everyone was distraught and in some form of pain.
However, what I have come to fully realize is that we all were in some form of pain. And, as such crappy behaviors by others because of their pain didn’t mean we had to ignore our own or squelch our joy.

“What’s left to say?
These prayers ain’t working anymore
Every word shot down in flames
What’s left to do with these broken pieces on the floor?
I’m losing my voice calling on ‘you’
‘Cause I’ve been shaking
I’ve been bending backwards till I’m broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke
Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?”
From Celine Dion and “Ashes”
i’d Already Been to ‘That Place’
Before The Pandemic Came 66 Months
of Shut-in Life With The Worst Pain Known
To Humankind Type Two Trigeminal Neuralgia
From Wake to Sleep “The Real Assessed Suicide Disease
GOD YES No Drug Would Touch my Mother Didn’t Believe
It Was the Worst Pain So She Ordered a Book on the “Crucifixion
Of Jesus” Took It Out of the Package Started Reading A Random Page
She Opened to And Just Like “DarK Synchronicity” Surely i Would Have
Had Chills Up and Down my Spine if i Was Capable of ‘Frisson’ Then As
After About 30 Seconds or So She Got to the Part of the Page of Exceptions
That Stated Clearly Trigeminal Neuralgia is Assessed As Worse than the
3 to 9 Hours Jesus Was Suggested to Have Endured on the Cross Until
His Flame Went Out True 66 Months Was a Bit Longer Indeed With
A Life Threat of 18 Other Medical Disorders in Synergy as Well
What ‘They’ Call in General “Autism Burn-Out” Or “General
Adaptation Syndrome” Per Hans Selye’s Explanation of
What Happens When Any Animal Exhausts its
Limitations of No Longer Attaining
Animal Homeostasis However
Humans Will Go Past
Limits Other Animals
Will Just Not Do Oh The Will
of HeLL and Heaven And The Tween
Humans Will Surely Do And Yes i Went way too
Far off into the BLacK Abyss Almost Never Coming
Back By The Hair Gone of my Last Drop of Hope And
Even the Memory of A Smile Yes As the Pandemic Came i Had Some
Idea of How Humans Will Change Shut-in They Will Lose Some of their
Humanity And at Best Finally Find An Opportunity to Seek and Find
A Deeper More Holistic Part of their Soul Beyond The Owning
of Materially Reducing Reality And Forgetting to Put iT All
Back ToGeTHeR Again Indeed The Health Care Field
A Battlefield For Even Heroes then Yet in the
Field of Humanity At Large And on WordPress More
Specifically Poetry of Soul Rose Like Ballads of War in Ukraine
There May Never Be Another Era For Beauty Coming Out of Ashes
That Way Surely in my Lifetime at Least Yet It’s True in Poetic Response
i Wrote it All Down Melding With the Souls of The World Doing Their Best
to Come
Out of Ashes
With New Beauty
Never Seen and Felt Before
And Now “Normal” Has Returned
Yet The Age Old Question of Humanity
In “Fifth Avenue Killing Fields” of Course
Is What Makes Normal And What Makes Humanity Real
Oddly Enough Yet Sadly
Not Really As A Pandemic
Created More Humanity
in Some Cases And In Others Not
So Goes The Human Potential Capable
of Rising Out of Ashes or Falling into The Fires of Ignorance Most
The Human Pandemic Truly Responsible For the Most Taking Hoarding
And Callously Harming, Raping, Maiming, And Killing Us And The Rest of Nature
True
Oh To Apocalypse
in The Original Greek
Definition of Lifting The
Veils of the Ashes oF iGNoRaNCE
iNDeeD Far From Destruction of Ignorance Indeed…
Meanwhile The “Killing Fields of 5th Avenue” Do Not Sleep…
Sadly Enough
Symptom of the
Whole Human Condition True
In And Out of the Ashes That Return And Go Backwards…
Yet Never the Less What A Fascinating Era to Observe
What’s Going
Down and
Still
Up
With SMiLes…:)
Oh Yeah And What Was the
Response of my Mother After
She Read That Page It Really Didn’t
Matter How much She Loved me
She Loved The Story of Jesus More
And That Was Okay it Brought Her
Great Comfort in Her Ending Days…
Fortunately i Regained my Humanity
To Truly Breathe Her During Her Last Days on Earth…
i Still Do Yet i Shall Breathe More For All And Not Just a Select chosen few….
