For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive.

Rosa era una mujer viuda. No había tenido hijos y vivía en el segundo piso del edificio de enfrente. Su balcón estaba siempre lleno de plantas y de flores, las cuales cuidaba con mucho mimo. La Sra. Rosa era una dama amable y sonriente. Le gustaba cantar mientras regaba sus plantas al atardecer. Sus canciones eran canciones antiguas, coplas de otras épocas, seguro que de cuando ella era joven...

Muchas mañanas, cuando nos veíamos desde nuestros respectivos balcones, ella amablemente me

saludaba, "Buenos días", y siempre me regalaba la primera sonrisa del día…

 

Llegaban malas noticias por la televisión y por los periódicos. Hablaban sobre un virus terrible.

¡Un virus que se estaba expandiendo por todo el planeta y nadie podía ya detenerlo!.

Llegó el mes de Marzo y toda la gente tuvo que permanecer obligada confinada en sus casas. Sólo se podía salir de casa para lo imprescindible, nada más…

 

Caía la tarde y salí a mi balcón. Ese era mi pequeño espacio donde podía sentir una especie de agradable sensación de libertad que me aliviaba un poco durante aquellos asfixiantes y agobiantes momentos de encierro.

¡Entonces vinieron ellos!. Sus cuerpos estaban completamente cubiertos con una especie de escafandras blancas y unas grandes máscaras ocultaban sus rostros...

Pasaron unos minutos y entonces pude ver desde mi balcón cómo la Sra. Rosa era transportada en una camilla hacia la ambulancia que permanecía aparcada frente a las puertas de su edificio.

Una máscara de oxígeno le cubría la boca y la nariz. Durante unos breves segundos nuestras miradas se encontraron... Aquellos fueron los segundos más eternos de toda mi vida…

 

Pasaban los días, las semanas, los meses... y lentamente todas las plantas de la Sra. Rosa comenzaron a marchitarse…Hasta que un día terminaron por desaparecer de aquel balcón…

 

Una nueva primavera ha llegado. Ya han pasado dos años desde el comienzo de la pandemia... Un nuevo inquilino vive en la casa donde vivía la Sra. Rosa pero ese nuevo inquilino no tiene macetas con plantas y flores en su balcón. Solo hay una bicicleta y algunos trastos inútiles…

 

Hoy hace una mañana soleada de domingo. Me gusta salir a mi balcón y sentir el agradable y cálido sol de la mañana sobre mi rostro. Miro hacia el pequeño rincón donde crecían los rosales que había plantado unos meses atrás y entonces observo como sus primeras flores empiezan a brotar...

Me agacho un poco para poder apreciarlas más de cerca y así poder disfrutar de aquel fresco y agradable aroma que desprendían…

 

“Buenos días...” digo con voz susurrante mientras acaricio suavemente aquella pequeña rosa que empezaba a abrirse por primera vez al mundo...

 

Y de nuevo... desde mi balcón... volví a sonreír otra vez...

His right eye seems to be injured/missing perhaps. In any event he could see the wee one trying to get a few peanuts out of the bowl and ran her off. I am pretty sure he was fully aware of the rules of social distancing we are all facing now with the Covid 19 pandemic and was trying to ensure that she stayed a hockey stick away.

 

He then ran back to bowl and sat right in there keeping an eye on the far end of the deck to make sure she didn't come back.

I am a critical government worker so I am only on "lockdown" from Friday to Sunday here at home. I hope you all stay safe, wash your hands and stay home to help stop the spread.

This one seems to have a peanut allergy as the peanuts were passed by in order to get a mouthful of the seed mix.

As the world turns, it seems to shake, rattle and roll over and over and over.... on an endless loop of "what now" moments. There are days i just want to scream "STOP" for all the world to hear... I have to remember I can close my eyes and shut out the world and everything going on in these days of injustice, insanity, disobedience and disorder, and just sit, in the moment, and breathe... And I can turn off the news and ignore the phone... It's possible... Peace to you my friends. HSS! #stayhomesavelives

Hello everyone!! Hope you all are fine in this crucial situation..

Yesterday was 'Pahela Baishakh'. (Bengali: পহেলা বৈশাখ, romanized: Pohela Boishakh) or Bangla Noboborsho (Bengali: বাংলা নববর্ষ) is the first day of Bengali Calendar. It is celebrated on 14 April as a national holiday in Bangladesh by people of Bengali heritage. But this year for the pandemic situation all the programs had been cancelled.

Basically red and white have always been the most popular 'Boishakhi' combination. So here's my kind of celebration on the 2nd day of Boishakh😄 .....

 

Everyday the flowers bloom four to five, but today they are ten together and I got a chance to share with you people ☺️. Hope you like it!

Me this morning, when it sunk in that we've got weeks more of this.

GMP Chief Constable Ian Hopkins spent yesterday afternoon, Wednesday 25th March, in local supermarkets to provide reassurance and to remind people they should only be out when absolutely necessary.

 

He also took the opportunity to thank supermarket staff for their on-going commitment.

 

Please do your part and stay at home.

Traditionally, Easter weekend sees increased activity in and around public spaces - including places of worship, beauty spots and town centres - as well as large gatherings of families and friends at residential properties.

 

This year celebrations will differ, as we continue to follow Government guidelines and stay at home in an effort to help limit the transmission of COVID-19. Churches will be closed - including for private prayer - and people will be prohibited from taking part in social gatherings with those outside of their own household.
