Mothering Sunday
It's been almost two years since I last wrote a blog post. Why has so much time gone by without creative writing in my life? What resemblance do our lives bear today to our lives two years ago? I started to write a blog post one year ago, in March 2020, but didn't publish it. Here's what I wrote then: "The world I am in today is barely recognizable. It's Mother's Day in England and the Prime Minister is urging people not to visit their mothers. Cornwall's Member of Parliament is saying "Please don't come to Cornwall." Pubs and restaurants are closed. Schools are closed. Airports are deserted and most countries have closed their borders to all but essential travel. If my children and I wanted to see each other on Mother's Day, we could not. They are in California and I am in England. I do not know when I will be able to see them again, other than online. Oh yes, and there's a virus that respects no boundaries abroad in the world."
