Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such a response do we find truth - Madeleine L’Engle
“The irrationality of the world” is pretty much how I feel about the world on a normal day.
Getting to paint and write really is my truest response to coping and I’m so grateful I have this to hold me on the hard days. But this I have to say feels next level. We are now in a nationwide lockdown for the next 21 days. After which I’m sure they will re-assess the situation.
I have moments of complete calm and rational and other moments of being completely afraid about so many things. Mainly the health of my family during this time as we head into the Autumn and Winter months. My extended family and not being able to see each other and so grateful for modern day communications. So much is whirling through my heart at the moment, like with all of us.
So today I’m just going to be thankful that I can paint and write and today we are healthy, we are all home and safe. And just to let you know I’m right here with you and it gives me some comfort to know that we are all in this together.
Sending you all so much love and comfort during this time.
Much love, Jeanne-Marie
