If only you knew what life has in store, The countless blessings and many doors, That will open as the years pass by, Life won't leave you high and dry.

Slowing down
A year ago it felt like time was on caffeine. The world was bustling and spinning faster than I could keep up. By force of nature (quite literally) the Covid lockdown has stopped time's caffeine overdose and the spinning of our world feels somewhat slower. We're indoors, almost forced to slow things down.
