Simply Being

Virus Hiatus

2020-05-04

The COVID-19 virus is interrupting all our lives in in the most unexpected ways. Death, however, is the biggest interrupter.

This little poem begins:
Now your life is interrupted
Now your plans are not fulfilled
Now you see life is no possession
Now you see life happens as it will

English original

German by Frank Sandschulte and Yvonne Gabriel
