Drôles de Petites Bêtes - a photo on Flickriver

            Sometimes, I look through old photos and what I didn’t realize was there was actually present all along…that growing unease that something wasn’t quite right…this was 2019 but there were times you could sense it in the sigh of a parent and the look of anxiety in one’s eyes.  And, you know you hold your loved ones close and you know you’d do anything to make sure they survived even a pandemic.  

And I look at this photo and I hope they are still alive.  The child may be 6 or 7 by now.  We’ve learned quite a bit about the world and ourselves if we’re still breathing.  And, in every lift there is an “I love you” and in every gesture there is, “I promise I’ll protect you.” But, in every exhalation, there’s a feeling that the world is bigger than all of us and we’ll never be the same again. 

We are all funny little beasts when you really think about it and we all share a space in a vast and impossible world.
