“Lost and Found…”

“During the days of the world locked down, I have found, on a personal level, that I am really enjoying being within my own walls with my own environment but a concern arises as I acknowledge how deeply comforting this is all feeling…being isolated. I am generally a person who enjoys conversation of all kinds with all kinds of people. I had this on a daily basis and it was definitely a part of my Life. I enjoy face to face conversation which leaves me with a memorable impression that of which feeds and nourishes my soul.

But that part of my Life is completely gone. I have not had a physical interaction of any kind with anyone outside my immediate family and my concern is that I may be losing my ability to socialise with others…oh how I crave conversational coffee breaks with friends and colleagues. I draw inspiration to write and create magical and peaceful thoughts from on-hand Life experiences. My concern is that I may lose this inspiration from Life’s natural experiences as I continue to keep isolated and I constantly think…Could this have a negative effect on my ability to explore my love and passion for the creative arts and could I be losing myself?

The answer is yes.

It is such a relevant reality right now but I will not fail. I will hang onto the memories I have created and experienced and that will urge me on to feel as alive as I have always enjoyed feeling being in the physical presence of others.

Now take a moment out and let that sink in, how we can easily lose our social skills indefinitely and the fear that comes along with it…

…Now take another moment out to think about how our children feel in isolation…

They may seem happy to be at home and feel free and comfortable but realistically, this locked in and down with mum only situation can and will have a major impact on their social skills.

So how do rectify this?

For now we cannot but what we do have control of is the ability to show them how very significant it is having endless time together with each other, with us, their parents. Time that we, as children, never experienced much of in our childhood days.

So in turn, as we use this thought to better our time spent with each other, let us also better our time spent with ourselves in our own daily, peaceful and quiet moments to resonate within us how very important we are to ourselves as we flow through the LOST and FOUND of our hearts and find the resolve by acknowledging that we do have the ability to change how we do things in order to see the same horizon we look forward to every day. It is the most vital tool we have to making the right changes to our soul.

Stay well, Always.” – Aarti
