When life stopped but time didn't

28 days of Quarantine , 28 days of looking at at life differently ,28 days of learning ,28 days of unlearning...
Never ever had time before to think so much about where I was going what are you doing and how I would be transacting my next few days.

but as is experienced by each one of us in our own different way we see that life may have come to a standstill but only a certain way of life we all have adapted to a new way a new curve which we all know as the virtual way of living ;virtual way of teaching and learning .This Paradigm shift has caused us all educators to be reflective of where we were and where we want to be .Many of us have to adapt to certain changes that were introduced by government systems and schools. As was expected many of us took to the move smoothly but for a lot the transition has been far from smooth
For me ,it took me some time to realise that this was an opportunity that I was waiting for since a long time I also realised that I think better when I am speaking and therefore instead of writing I started on with my podcasts.

The Long Road To My Mind..



    
The need for being understood,
The balance topples when I am left all alone.
I need to be included, to be with the others...
A long road...
Lonely and winding...
Will I be ok?
If I am ok, you are OK..
I am getting there. I should not be lonely!
Life in it's myriad hues, and yet no one to take away my blues...
So much to say, if only someone could show me the way.
Winding down and up, looking at my half full/ empty cup
Laughing and crying, elated and sighing...
Living, breathing, moving along...
The need presses on,from within... Listening, waiting, seeing, thinking, sinking.
Letting go.. Moving on to what.. The fear looming large " Will I make it" Will life let me take it?
And there I sit, lonely again... The mind ticking...
