Since you asked: no, everything is not okay. It never was. Read Arthur Schopenhauer's "On the Sufferings of the World." Or watch the videos "I Wish I Had Car" by Angry Johnny and the Killbillies" or "I Used to Be A Cop" by The Drive-By Truckers.
The only things I care about now are my writing and my two adult children, who seem to be having a tough time in life.
I'm taking it one day at a time at the moment.
Some days I feel I can do anything like when I smashed up my shed, a real Thor moment swinging that hammer around.
Some days I have to force myself to do simple things like eat because otherwise I forget to do it.
Most of the ones I called my friend outsude here haven't really been in contact much, perhaps the ties that bind are looser then I thought. Though more likely they're busy as all heck and I'm just down the running order a bit. It does make me feel like the last remnant of a forgotten age.
My muse is still silent, far beyond the stars where I can't feel her and all I can do is wait for her return.
My relationship with my wife is like an accordion sometimes so close and others far apart. That damned instrument moves almost by it's own will and I never know where along its journey it is until something comes up to show me.
Still I have my Faith to give me strength to stand, Luna's silvery light to give me Hope that perhaps tomorrow will be better.
Be kind to yourselves and each other, we are far more fragile then we would want to be.
Be gentle and soon this will pass, the world will return to a new normality and we will rush to embrace the change.
Be well and be safe my dears.
I'm off to sit in my garden, listen to the bees buzz, soak up the morning sun and rekindle some light in this weary heart.
