The messages I’m receiving today are ‘calm’ and ‘reflection.’ I’m interested by the instincts I have to run around ‘as normal,’ alongside the chief effect of Covid-19 which, having drained me of energy, insists on ‘rest.’
So I’ve been thinking a lot about the harbours I’ve known in my life – the quiet backwaters where little vessels take time out from riding oceans and are protected and sometimes maintained, re-painted, sea-proofed, even loved there. And – gratefully – I ask myself ‘where would I be without them?’

Talking of boats I remember climbing the rigging of a tall ship with you below praying that I don’t fall down. I was always very calm but not the spectators I think. Do hope that the Covid passes without incident. Been there done that and we’re still here

My dearly departed grandmother used to counsel me to embrace the occasional ‘pause that refreshes.’ Sounds like that’s where you’re at right now, dear friend. xx
