A random day in life!
Started vulnerably in the morning swaying between being open to the world and between turning in to my closed private world but have decided in the end that, the way to contribute is to be out there, to communicate and to interact.
Fear is not the way of spending your days in this world. To add value and to show kindness you could not live it alone and you could not build walls and shields between you and people!
I planned to go out to a café to read the book of the week with more focus but could not manage to leave my place in the end. Several phone calls to family and friends of the family before I had a meeting for a financial review (that was enlightening!).
I decided at some point midday to see a film. Fargo! A random choice. High scoring but a terrible true story! A husband planned a kidnap of his wife to get money off her rich dad with his plan ending in the death of 5 people including his wife and father-in-law and his own imprisonment! Oh, and a million-dollar buried somewhere in the snow that would have likely remained there for years because the only one who knew where it was met his own death in the hands of the collaborator in the kidnap! It is astonishingly ugly to see that a person could do any of that! Anyway, I regret and not regret the time spent seeing the film even though I did a few tasks while doing that.
When I finally managed to hold my book, it was late but what do they say? “better late than never!”. But the highlight of my evening and the day was listening online and live to the Fitzwilliam String Quartet. I see being able to be anywhere in the world from the warmth of one’s own house is one of a few positive things coming out of the Pandemic. I count appreciating the importance of human contact, the awareness of mortality and shortness of life, and embracing mental health and wellness some of the other positives.
