Lock(ed)-down

When the world was punctuated with a full stop.

Every blade of grass has it’s angel that bends over it and whispers , “Grow, grow.” — The Talmud

The Pandemic.

It has paused life for some, opened more opportunities for others, and toppled for a few others.

The ones for whom it had paused, have taken it all slow, one day at a time, realizing over time that the pause indeed has brought in more appreciation towards life.

The ones for whom it has brought opportunities have seen magic, that reinforced the faith and the beauty of their dreams.

How about for the ones life has toppled?

They have gone through something they never imagined. From weakness to strength. From losing faith to only faith. From losing to winning.

All in all this lockdown has definitely transformed all of us, for the better.

As places are starting to open up, somehow there's a change in the way I see the world today. And somehow I feel thankful for this change.
