Still here,staying here, being here...
My last blog entry was back in November 2019...right at the end of the world as we knew it. This new way, this surreal reality with it's need for self-isolation, self-distancing, economic and social shut down under the ravages of a global pandemic is our present and our future until the hope of a vaccine/treatment is realized. Everything is different, we struggle to adapt to the new world order and way of doing things in order to survive, fear and anxiety are the underlying emotions of the day, hope is the what keeps us going. We are all in this, there are no privileged or special people that can sit this one out, the moment to moment stuff is what we have before us with no certainty beyond that. So in those moments stay engaged, be kind to each other, do what we need to do even if it doesn't seem important or significant and stay home, stay distanced, self-isolate as necessary. The world has changed since my last post, profound changes - but some things are the same, I am posting this bread bake as evidence of that, a simple cracked khorasan/oat porridge sourdough coated with sifted bran, flaked khorasan and sesame seeds. It's the same. Baked for neighbours and friends . It's the same.
Each of us can make a difference, each of us has a responsibility to everyone else... stay home, stay distanced, stay well!
