Hi all: New to forum and this group. I'm deeply concerned about what is happening on many levels, but most of all for those people severely disadvantaged by poverty. I'm 67 and this is an amazing experience to go through at this point in my life: I'm practicing safety and trying to encourage others to do the same.
At the same time, it is a cool, glorious Spring: my clematis have been blooming for weeks and weeks; Their energy is so intense I think I see them vibrating. It's wondrous to listen to the crows talk to each other, the woodpecker peck, with my faithful cat and Chihuahua.
The skies are mostly quiet: no planes, no jet trails. I don't go on the road much, but no trucks and, for me, enormously stressful traffic. Very few people about. I live in a state that's like a forest down south; everything is brilliantly green right now.
I've lived alone most of my adult life, and I must admit that solitude is a peaceful, safe and enlightening place to live. I am a professor, I was, before this pandemic, dealing with students and colleagues daily. The isolation has alleviated most of my stress related to work. I wouldn't mind a little bit more human contact, but I'm mostly blissful right now communing a lot with nature, like us old hippies do.
So that's what I've been up to, tending to many beautiful plants...
