It is only stress without meaning that wears us down.

How right you are!! I DO believe this covid 'thing' is a magnifying energy - shining a bright light on all that is cracked and broken - and forcing some things to fail. It's like global compost. Nothing new can emerge till the old crap is hacked off, shredded, composted and the worms have had there day.

I love the image of the waves... just seeing them soothed me and reminded me that mermaids feel a LOT but are eternally adaptable.

Lovely post.
