Besides being alone and human contact is very minimal, there's the fact that I'm sick with further isolates me. In turn all of this has taken a huge toll on my overall health and wellness, most importantly my mental health.
We've made everything, absolutely everything, about Covid and have not truly considered the consequence of folks already dealing with pre-existing conditions.

People say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane
We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

I've been thinking a lot lately about the photographs I haven't been taking, mostly because while I've had snippets of time to think , I haven't had time to shoot. Consequently when I can snatch time away from everyday life, I feel a bit lost and rushed. I end up shooting what's grabbing me where I am at rather than the ideas I have. Anyway something gelled in my head about minimalism and landscapes that I need to start exploring. So here's a beginning...maybe.
li'l 360 action from mount isolation in the dry river wilderness area, nh. what's cool about isolation is that it's a low peak surrounded by higher ridges. and the fact that it's kinda far from the road, so not many folks go there. i usually have it to myself.
This is simply an old mining road. I liked the isolated feel and the sign which now has fallen and abandoned. It's( not Ansel Adams) but blown up it gives the desired effect.

Joel Sarfati, a counselor for the Washington area’s long-term unemployed, has seen it all: Foreclosures, substance abuse, family battles and – worst of all – widespread depression that some experts say has reached startling proportions since the recession.

Mental toll of extended unemployment looms large
FROM:www.washingtonpost.com
About 9 percent of Americans were defined as clinically depressed in data released last year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, compared to an estimated 6.6 percent in data collected in 2001 and 2002.
“You’re 45, 50 years old, you’ve worked hard for the past 25 years, and all of the sudden you’re on the street, or your friends disappear like unemployment is a disease they can catch,” said Sarfati, the executive director of 40Plus of Greater Washington, an organization that brings together unemployed middle-aged professionals for job training, resume building and much needed moral support. “As this thing gets more drawn out, we see more and more people fall into a deep funk or dark place.”
As President Obama and Republican leaders argue over the best way to reduce 9.1 percent unemployment and revive a near-flatlining economy, less attention has been paid to the widespread emotional and psychological damage caused by long-term unemployment — and the drain it has on government resources and workforce productivity.
With an estimated three-quarters of the 14 million unemployed Americans out of work for more than six months and fully half out of work for more than two years, many jobless Americans are falling into despair as repeated attempts to find work come up short.
When people lose their jobs, they often are optimistic as they embark on a search for a new one, according to Ronald Kessler, a professor of health-care policy at Harvard Medical School and an expert on psychiatric disorders and data. “But after a while they get worn down and discouraged, and that’s when you start to see the mental health problems. And for the U.S., that time is now.”
A recently released, comprehensive study of the long-term unemployed by Rutgers University’s John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development found that 32 percent were experiencing a good deal of stress and another 47 percent said they had some stress associated with their joblessness. Moreover, at least 11 percent reported seeking professional help for depression in the past year.
One in two of the respondents in the two-year national study said they have avoided friends and associates, largely out of a sense of shame and embarrassment — a self-imposed isolation that hurt their ability to network to find employment.
Many of these unemployed Americans cannot afford to seek professional help because they lost their employer-provided health insurance with their jobs. At the same time, federal, state and local governments have cut back on spending for mental health clinics and outreach in response to budget crises spawned by the bad economy.
It could get even worse if Medicaid funding of mental health services is put on the chopping block later this fall, as a congressional “supercommittee” hunts for spending cuts to help reduce the federal budget deficit. Medicaid is the main source of funding of public mental health services for young people and adults, accounting for nearly half of state mental health budgets, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
today has been a day of action or work if you will, The bible says prayer without work is dead. I've been constant prayer and meditation since I lost my dear friend Janice and late today I got my answers and three confirmations, so I got down to work.
I gave this shot this title because, I seem to get the sense of isolation whenever I see this picture.
Everyone doing their own thing. For some reason, Iike it.
Funny story about the man in the safety vest. Surrounding the lighthouse is a golf course. I first noticed this man by the fence, picking up golf balls with his litter-picker-upper and *fliinging* them back onto the fairway. He was a pro and could pluck those things and flick his wrist. Later he was near the tee at the edge of the fence and he looked at the men teeing off with such distain, we thought he woudl chew them out for knocking ball into his yard.
Until the early 20th century the Haddington District Lunatic Board was responsible for a central sanatorium or asylum whose intake was drawn from the whole of the county of East Lothian. Comforts for the inmates were supplied by a form of competitive tendering, demonstrated by this document.
This is an application for tender for the supply of tobacco, clay pipes and snuff to the Haddington District Lunatic Asylum.
The inauguration of the National Health Service in 1948 revolutionised health care in Britain. Hitherto in East Lothian, health provision was met by a variety of private charitable and statutory institutions. Most towns had cottage hospitals and isolation or fever hospitals (for infectious diseases). Care of the mentally ill was the responsibility of the Lunacy Board. All other eventualities were dealt with by Edinburgh institutions such as the Royal Infirmary.

"Solitude vivifies; isolation kills." ~ Joseph Roux
The storms held off well enough this morning and afternoon to get some time in at Chicago's Botanical Gardens. Here is a favorite from the day. Enjoy!
March 2019's theme was WATER!
It’s the main source of all life. The lifeblood element that makes up 60% of our bodies.
It’s the liquid that we don’t drink enough of, yet waste effortlessly.
It’s home to millions of species, mysteries, and undiscovered knowledge.
We know more about the stars in the sky than the depths of our oceans.
We can use it to save lives. If used foolishly, it can take lives.
We think there is an abundance, yet only one percent can be touched. If we don’t protect our waters, then what will happen to life?
Thanks to Nicework and Vega School for helping us make it possible!
Our Perth chapter chose this month’s exploration of Water and Sofia Varano illustrated the theme.
More about our speaker, Banele Khoza -
Banele Khoza was in born in 1994 in Hlatikulu (a small rural town) in eSwatini. During high school he moved to South Africa and is now based in Tshwane. He studied at the London International School of Fashion for a year, studying Fashion Design. Dismayed by the limited oppertunities to draw he transferred to study Fine Arts at Tshwane University of Technology. On completion of his degree he taught Drawing and Art Theory at the same institution. In 2018 he decided to stop teaching to work as a full time artist.
Banele Khoza is a man to watch, with a recent solo show at Zeitz MOCAA, the 2017 Gerard Sekoto Foundation award under his belt and a fleet of taxi’s covered in his work (as the result of him winning the SA Taxi Foundation Art Award) his work is going places. Khoza’s first suite of lithographs published by The Artists’ Press, demonstrate his skill and dexterity. Khoza’s ability to embrace the unknown and to immerse himself in the technical possibilities of what lithography has to offer combined with the skills of Master Printer Mark Attwood have resulted in prints that reveal the artist’s gifts.
Khoza worked on stone and grained film using a combination of pencil, litho crayon and ink and tusche washes. The delicate traces of the dried ink, Khoza’s choice of colours and drawing abilities combine to delight the eye. Khoza has been a keen draftsman since the age of five, drawing images of the toys that he wanted but which his conservative parents refused to get for him. This sense of longing and vulnerability can be seen in Khoza’s lithographs.
Obsessively neat and detailed text weaves through some of the prints, but one cannot read all of the words. It is if the artist entices one into his private world and then stops one from fully accessing it, questioning the viewer’s motives for the intrusion. Khoza’s journals are an integral part of his practice and are reflected in his image making “I have never seen so many sharp pencils” is some of the text included in one of his lithographs. Khoza’s interest in the private and the public merges with his interest in social media, technology, connection/disconnection, isolation and a longing to be whole and completely present with someone as well as with oneself.
In the six two-colour prints faces and bodies are alluded to, the delicacy of the washes contrasting with the boldness of the forms. And just as things seem to be getting really serious the text and titles pull one back with a sense of delight and quirkiness
“Dear Olympia” (a reclining nude with two cats) and “Don’t forget the tomatoes” reminding one of everyday routines.

Room 413 at Metropolitan General Hospital in Holargos. I am isolated to avoid any possibilty of re-infection prior to my surgery.
Work in progress by Gabriel Vanegas.
A reaction against the loss of privacy in our digital and physical space ; the lost of time in social networks and the unknown risks of wifi and telephone waves.
The action was made during the 3 days of exhibition (Day of the open doors) with help of the attendees.
It was inspired by the Faraday cage.
To stop the wifi and telephone waves the aluminum is all inter connected and after grounded with an electric cable (please do not connect it to electricity, it could be dangerous). The result is not so satisfactory, the best is to use an aluminum screen, but it was too expensive for the performance.
