As we advent into the new year 2022 with renewed hope, almost leaving behind unprecedented times, we once again find ourselves precariously facing a new surge- strain, a new restriction; oscillating between two conjunctions i.e staying safe indoors for oneself and others in the same breath-braving the outdoors.

Finally the last few years have been good lessons learnt. Nothing is more important than the lives and good health of ourselves and our loved ones. No hustling is important & matters little. Whats been most comforting is to have our family and loved ones around , spending time with each other , conversations that have become deeper in nature; about life , death , love , ecology, nature, environment and everything in between. What we learnt the most is to Live everyday as if it were our last !

Art came up trumps as the life line for most. Coping with these times the arts were especially there to lift up spirits. Where practicing cooking , singing , painting , dancing , writing or other forms of the crafts, each of us activated our left hemispheres to cope , to heal to recoup and bounce back. Listening , feeling, caring deeper than we did before.

While we slowly understand that this may be the new way of life , we learn to accept the new normal.

Sit back , make less fuss, make more amends , value our environment , our immediate surroundings , friendships and companionships.

Like Thomas Merton once said ”Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
