An Unexpected

Development

Today I tested positive for Covid-19.

At the moment, I feel physically well. I will not comment on my emotional stability, however.

I have been in virtual lockdown since 2/15/20 and am perplexed how I contacted this dreaded virus.

I was scheduled to receive the vaccine tomorrow. Obviously. this scenario changed immediately.

Questions emerge, however.

Am I frightened?

Yes, I suppose I must admit that.

Am I angry?

Yes, I cannot disguise the degree of hostility I feel towards others who have unmasked and not observed social distancing in the past few weeks.

Yet, can I accurately say, they were the culprits carrying these virulent germs?

No, I cannot do that honestly.

Am I apologetic for my unbridled resentment towards those I believe responsible for the contagion?

That may come in time, but at the moment I am not that generous in my escalating opinions.

Has this development changed my belief that “This too shall pass?

Not for a minute, but let me say, I am not quite so confident I will be there.

Has this development changed my faith?

No, no,

It has merely redoubled my belief in the words sung by Leonard Cohen, “IF IT BE YOUR WILL.”

I would merely add as well as “Thy Will be done.”

And so it shall be.

Maybe to be continued.............
