Reclaiming


Corona: 1. A rare and glorious sight during full eclipse of the sun, radiance made visible.
Corona: 2. In the night sky, a constellation, a circle of stars
Corona: 3. All outer events called to a halt, no going to gatherings. Performances and performings vanish alike.

At 7:30 this morning, I make a grocery run. The Coop so quiet, the surprisingly many shoppers not stopping to hug in the aisles. 
We quickly fill our carts. 
Back home, groceries unload in the still chilly day.


Hands washed. 
Catfood stowed, nut milk, cans for making
bone-broth-coconut-pumpkin-onion-celery soup,
and yes, TP. 
Hands washed again.
Now the sun is warm, the sky a vivid blue, the fir trees very forest green,
the day all my own.
