hip hooray for lockdown
our days are now nameless days
our days are now aimless days
we have been gifted to share
the timeless life enjoyed by
sucklings, ferals and fishes
tuning our minds to receive
erased transcendental truths
we are not human ciphers
born to dance to chimes of bells
workplace hooters, clocks, whistles,
calendars’ conformities
we are gardeners, lovers,
readers, writers and thinkers
Earth shapers and Earth changers
born to restore lost Eden
a dormant memory has
come to life slouching slowly.

I just realized I kinda liked how others lead their lives outdoors working etc.. My life was the same, there never was a sense of lockdown changing my daily habits. As a recluse facing dog emergencies I simply had to go the vet to clinics without a mask the world was just as stupidly tragic as it always were.
I rarely leave the house anyway – the lockdown has not changed my life one iota 🙂 -by the way way I just watched a UK film “Ill met by moonlight” about the kidnapping of a German general in Crete. I thought it was a bit far-fetched but then saw some Greek documentaries and it was all really true. Amazin. Kriti looked fantastic too. Rick.
never been there and I doubt I ever will. it would be a bit far-fetched if nobody in Crete ever kidnapped a German general.
They were British officers – they took the General across the island – 18 days being hunted by thousands of Germans – the General was taken to Cairo – there was a follow up documentary from 1972 in which the partisans were brought back together and the British officer – then the General himself. It was very moving – old men, old enemies, but those days had passed 🙂
any link? youtube?
The greek documentary is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN1qrghgCqI&t=6s
