When all else fails and nothing good Sways your current mood, And only the darkness prevails; When you're just so frustrated, Deflated, Feeling castrated, And unsated; When all the world's so full of words, Yet none of them seems new, unheard, Keep your head above all water And your heart filled with wonder; Let no one break your soul Because-- Because, in the end, That's all that'll ever matter. You see, this evil may be forceful, But God is much, much more powerful. "Thoughts" It's been nearly five months since China first reported the appearance of this novel, deadly disease. Countries all over the world were forced to enact lockdowns to control infection. Everyone's routine was halted and staying indoors became the new normal. All over the news, we read depressing stories of pain, death, and despair. However, alongside these narratives are inspiring accounts of charity, sacrifice, and healing. Indeed, we are far from flattening the curve. Yet, hope must spring eternal. Although daily updates still speak of new cases and new fatalities, the uplifting reports of new recoveries produce tiny sparks of joy.
