130 days! Spring is here! The Sausage tree has gorgeous flowers and we watched the birds in it all day. Scarlett Chested Sunbirds, Black Headed Orioles, Paradise Flycatchers and Go-Away Birds.
But the view and the sunshine weren't enough to lift my heavy heart today.
Covid 19 - The Pandemic of Shattered Dreams!
Weddings postponed. Parties cancelled. Graduations missed. Jobs gone. Businesses bankrupt. Smiles hidden. Families separated. Hugs abandoned. Marriages broken. Plans shattered. Pubs closed. Planes grounded. Health threatened. Lives lost.
These are my friends' stories.
The lyrics from "Seasons Of Love", a song from the musical "Rent".
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure-measure a year
In daylights- in sunsets
In midnights- in cups of coffee
In inches- in miles
In laughter- in strife
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life
How about love
How about love
How about love
Measure in love
Seasons of love
Seasons of love
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man
In truth that she learns
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she dies
Its time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Lets celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends!
