Lockdown Voices #1. Thank u F, L + D

During lockdown
When the buck stopped with me every second of every minute of every day
You will never know how much your voices
Kept me afloat

“Hallo C, I’m calling to get your food delivery together, is it a good time?”
F: your voice is so melodious, so calm, so velvety, I smiled and relaxed every time I heard you on the phone
And I kept you talking a bit longer than I should have done so I could enjoy your voice like glorious warm soft sunshine at the beginning and the end of the day
Cushioning me so that everything felt not just doable but that I was warm and safe in a big soft pillowy snug

Confinement Day 4

Feels like the emotional aspect of Covid19 and self-isolation is hitting home now. I think I was running on adrenalin for ages, getting everything ready for self-isolation. Now the tiredness and numbness is rising. Writing the first blog on this yesterday was helpful. Thank you. I realised that fear and tension were lurking in my being and I had to breathe them out, channel them, address them, rest… or this wasn’t going to be sustainable.
