In the last quarter of 2019, I made a very difficult decision to leave Australia, to return to Singapore and start over again. What this means in hindsight now are - I was able to escape the worst bushfires in Australia's history in December I didn't have to deal with the storms and floods that followed in January I am in one of the safest places in the world right now in light of the pandemic, with enough resources and no lockdown. The borders between Australia and Singapore closed 4 days before Rod and I were due to meet after more than 4 months apart With tighter measures implemented daily since, and neither of us being able to claim offocial residency in the other's country, the chances of our reunion in near time is now bleak... But I am still grateful Grateful to be in the country I can call my home To be with family and community To have food and supplies To be able to contribute to health and wellbeing of those around me To share. To teach. To create To be outdoors and in green spaces To be healthy and useful So hold your loved ones, your family and community close May we keep offering care to community, and gratitude for all the resources we have to see us through this times May love grows ever more deeply to fuel courage and resilience May we learn humility as a human race, to listen and heal Mother Earth #loveinthetimeofcorona #gratitudejournal #healing |
