Before the time of virus, I had a disconnect with the continuum of time. Days of the week demarcated by tai chi class (must be Monday, Wednesday or Friday) Just beginning to mark Thursday (aqua therapy) when the world shifted; time dislocated and morphed.
Now, days are soap bubbles: rising; drifting; prisming; reflecting; bouncing; breaking.
Last month, doing research for my oatcakes & snow drops post, I heard new echoes of women’s life narratives. Old friends called out too, names creaked up from a deep well.
History is my comfort food, my comfort zone. With walls of membrane – pressing against the surface, it gives, undulates. Handprint, faceprint.
Working on a post about Angelina Napolitano. What is known about her life narrative resonates with concerns I have about those trapped, by life in the time of virus, with an abusive person.

I’ve been sneaking around and lurk-reading, here and there, as my brain will allow for as much processing as it can, when it will – as you know –
and yeah, time morphs into these strange spaces – blanks – especially now, more so than ever, when we’re truly limited to our daily out of doors activities …. most days I have to check the t.v. or computer and then look at the wall calendar (do people still use these things?!) to verify what day of the week it – so yeah, we’re just drifting in these bubbles, bumping along a sea breeze …. so to speak.
As for “comfort zones” – well, it’s just fine to step back and into areas that bring us a sense of peace and safety, to revisit, or re-discover, to check back for the memories, and then perhaps find new ideas, information, knowledge …. it offer’s a sense of grounding and placement in a world that doesn’t make much sense anymore, and is, truthfully rather frightening – so cheers to you for your persistence and dedication to O&S – you’ve done a wonderful job of it. And wherever your virtual footsteps may lead, I hope you continue to find pleasure in your endeavours. :)

So good to hear from you.
Comfort food: listening to CBC radio on my laptop in the background. Still “As it Happens,” “Quirks and Quarks,” “The Debaters,” “Q” and the list goes on.
A leader who sounds like one not a petulant spoiled stupid child. And the adjective list goes on . . .
I have a wall calendar — actually two. My problem is remembering to consult it!
Hope you find bubbles of sea breeze to cocoon you.
Working on an email; but time is molasses.
