The children have seen so much. Families walking their kids. I ll remember one family in particular. We were taking out permitted walk and we were behind the, do we had to walk 'with them' until it was safe to manoeuvre around. The children were soooooo happy. In the woods, in the stream, piggy backs, laughter. Joyful in each other. The eldest sister, about 15 was mothering the younger brother. She was jumping in the stream with him on her back and leapt off a light only to land in a pit ip yo her waist. Very cold water...lmao..the screams and laughter.

Memories. I hope the children have memories that are good. Precious Times. 

I have walked miles with my husband. We've rediscovered one another as 'ok' We can live together and not need to 'rebuild the patio'.

I feel the same way Ghillie. I don't have the words to explain how I feel. I just can't stand the thought of having to step back into the Rat Race but the other side of that are my children, and grandchildren. I live next to a wood..an ancient wood and it's been loved by this community during all of this. It became a precious, jealously guarded 'commodity'. It's beauty was /is appreciated.

What suddenly changed? It's always looked this way. Now the youths that ripped branches down, scattered litter, set fires to destroy, not your tiny camp fires, mind you, but fires set under trees to burn those trees, are kept locked down. Probably within the virtual worlds they destroy with missiles, and fire, those worlds that regenerate every two minutes for them to repeat the 'game' yet again. Someone needs to press that button. Maybe they are.

I hope with every ounce of my being that we stop torturing the world around us . Please lord ~ we need to learn not to be vermin. 

I didn't leave my house/garden yesterday..it's all starting to buzz out there again, you can hear, feel and see it again. 1st June they said ~ there's less restrictions but it's already started here. Like a swarm.

Going to pull my big girl pants up now.

Hugs x

Thanks for confiding in friends, Ghillie Dhu. 

The jury is out on how much humanity will learn from this virus, how much we will allow nature to return to her ways. How we let the microcosm we are for the macrocosm get so distorted is a starting place for discussion. We've even distorted what is natural, a word derive from the nature of nature. But we are definitely not the only judge and jury in this case.

Animal extinctions and plastic pollution so bad there's a ring of it in the warmed up ocean waters - it is indeed a frightening scenario. Are we helpless, even when so many of us are praying fervently and would sincerely follow the rules if Corporate Humanity would just wise up, adopt and adapt? What and who are most of us on this version of Earth teeming with more than 8 billion? 

I'm one of those who says, "Have faith in Source". The cosmic mission driving this miracle of a habitat may be slowed down by thousands of years by our collective arrogance but either way it will proceed. The human race was conquerors' fodder even before money exchanges, and as well our sacred essence carries on through to today. Perhaps we're  perpetually sacred fodder?!

Keep growing your spirit, your fire, your water., Ghillie Dhu. I am sure the gods feel our love.

I agree, hopefully we will all learn from this to move forward in a positive way.

Is it just my celtic ancestry but i always look for the spiritual in everything. From birds to animals , even the clouds and the green growing things i look for meanings and answers.Now due to a virus the sky is clearer, wildlife is thriving ,canals and rivers are cleanerand a beautiful silence is in the world. I hope that the world will stay like this  hoping that people will have learned from this .Im trying to stay positive regarding it all but it hurts me inwardly . As long as money can be made im afraid that the human race is just fodder and most are too blind to see it.Thats why i love being here.like minded friends.

Irish Dad. Welsh/Scottish Mom. My Dad's family moved to England for work, when he was young, and my Mom's family ran shops in various parts of the UK. On my granddad's side we have Native American ~ apparently ~ but we've never been able to trace that, as we can only track so far back. At one point most of my grandmother's family packed up and went to America.1920/30s(?) .
