I wake up each morning thankful for the sun, the birds I hear chirping in the trees, my home, my job and the ability to work from home.
It's been seven weeks since lockdown, but life still goes on. I've adopted a kitten, had more time to read, think, reflect, walk around the neighbourhood. It is the simple things which mean the most.
I've marvelled watching my brother heading out for his nightshift stacking shelves at Woolies, my mum and friends still working in the schools and hospitals. Yes, we are all in this together, but some more so than others. We are not in all ways equally affected by this.
I've been amazed and inspired by the generosity of artists, musicians and entertainers, whom we all turn to in a crisis to nourish our souls and spirits. For continuing to do what you do in incredibly difficult circumstances and with little support, I salute you!
To my flamenco teacher whose income stream of gigs and classes were cancelled because of the pandemic, and whose Zoom classes not only continue to educate, inspire and keep us emotionally and physically fit, but give purpose and employment to artists overseas as well, I thank you.
Although we are physically apart, socially and artistically the world has come together - sharing stories, music, dance and art.
