Lockdown 10

Lockdown Day 10 - 5 April 2020

Today was my turn to take our list to the shop, and apart from feeling like a terrorist trying to fit in (funny haha) it went surprisingly smooth, the graveyard till shift being the most quiet time on a Sunday. The plan was simple, get in and out and wash myself and my stuff as best I can once home. Let it be known that the things of a post war world in movies such as Book of Eli can actually happen. This is my truth today. 

I decided to write about nature tonight for fear of a sudden onset of depro-rage. Rage for the people who started this and waited to notify the WHO and depro, well, I suspect you know. 

Around lunch time I was enjoying a little sun in our matchbox garden; inhaling the lukewarm midday air and watching our regular robin foraging through the Gaura stems dancing in the breeze like ballerinas made me feel part of the living breathing universe . The green of the grass was bright and crisp like the first green in spring. I took off my shoes and walked barefoot on the 

grass, a forgotten childhood pleasure I used to love. . I was reminded of my studies on the brain and the health benefits of amongst other things, walking barefoot on grass, such as improved glucose control, heart rate regulation, and stronger immune system. (maybe it'll also dissolve depro-rage, who knows) Now there's a thought: strengthening our immune systems sounds like the way to go in a Lockdown. Using what God gave us and made for us to keep us strong and healthy. If you don't have a little grass, find something with the same kind of texture and walk barefoot! One of my friends walked in the puddles of rain on her doorstep, and another over pillows on the floor. Here's to stronger imnunity for all, and even though the future looks dire, we will have the strength to face whatever comes our way, knowing we have the Omniscient God in our corner, and He's got this.
