It has been more than a year since we were dangerously introduced to the virus called corona, or covid19. In that period, we read of, heard of and even seen for ourselves how this virus caused a pandemic, took hundreds of thousands of lives, scarred many more than that, stopped people from travelling, turned humans into hermits, brought economies to a standstill... Like the swing in the picture. And that swing, it will not stand still forever; it will start swaying again. Slowly at first, when a gentle breeze blows at it, before swinging faster and faster as the wind picks up speed, swinging any which way it pleases. Until a child catches it, sits on it and guides it to sway and rise as how the child wills it. We too shall ride this pandemic. Soon enough, God willing. And when that time comes, how will we ride our swings?
