Uncharted paths-

do those words

go together?

It’s as if

our eyes must need to be in the

back of our heads

so we can see

where we’re going.

If we walked

backward,

would we then

see the

path ahead?

Life-

looked at

in reverse-

may show us

what we need

to find the place

where we are now.

Those steps

that seemed like

zigs and zags

at the time

can,

in retrospect,

reveal

that we took

the most direct

path after all.

Or are we?

Each of us

is experiencing

the Pandemic

individually.

Yet

it is becoming

clearer that

we are so interrelated

beyond

what could have been

imagined.

Years,

Decades,

Maybe

centuries

may

only give

glimmers

of what is

happening.

And,

did we do

the best we can.

Will it be enough?
