I spent several hours last
night, as usual, writing a blog post to share today. Overnight, in my insomnia,
I decided to share this instead.
The poem Hollow Men was
written by T.S. Elliot in 1925, and you can read more about it here. The last
lines are some of the most quoted in literature, and I’ve used them before.
These words are running through
my head today in light of the Coronavirus outbreak and the ensuing hysteria. You
can interpret their meaning as you like. But it doesn’t mean that they need to
come true. Keep your heads, out there, people. There’s no need to panic. Don’t
let the media make you crazy. Stay calm. Take deep breaths – yes, please keep
breathing, you can’t ward off a virus by holding your breath and passing out.
No matter what happens, just
remember, life will go on. It always has.
Oh, and Happy Friday the 13th.
