The impact grows throughout the world with the coronavirus. People have had to rearrange their priorities and monitor their actions on a daily basis. Children are staying home from school and going on-line to complete class assignments. Cities and states are becoming more restrictive in order to try and control the virus. Many people are on the front-line to help save lives and keep order. This was not in anyone’s plans; how fragile life has become.
Creativity has been forced to evolve to self-distance oneself to protect oneself. The Midwest still has snow on the ground and ice on the lakes; with warming temperatures this will soon be disappearing. People are taking advantage of the last days and going out ice fishing by themselves to take in the peacefulness of nature. Others are taking walks to enjoy the return of the large flocks of geese, woodpeckers and eagles flying in. Nature still has retained its beauty and create moments of wonderment that still surrounds us. Throughout the world everyone seeks the moment of peace that they can withdraw into and appreciate the value of life.
