BTR/ATR: Before/After The Rona

Corona virus...there is a decidedly distinct time schism that will now mark an era in our lives. What was life like before the rona...what will life be like after the rona?

It's a pause button for some of us, with the underlying buzz of normalcy still pulsing through erratically, like a slightly unwelcome guest. Perspectives are being hewn differently in our alone-ness.

BTR Kate and I made time for ourselves when we could. Now we have more time to give but I fear the virus vectors that we could ply upon one another. Can't wait for ATR.

BTR I looked forward to seeing my parents when they got home from the Philippines. Now I talk more regularly on the phone with them. I want to hug them so bad...ATR.

Once a week BTR I played music with my mates and that will happen again ATR. Now I'm just playing alone and finding solace there. Solace BTR and ATR.
