Humanity

Dear Yuri,

Humanity, due to confinement, has begun a great journey into space, inner space, via their homes and living rooms.

When freedom is taken away, we then strive for inner peace and understanding. We fight with the shadows to discover the light. We ask questions like…

‘Who am I?’ ‘Who are my family?’ ‘Who are my friends?’ ‘What do I really care about?’ ‘When can I eat a meal that some one else cooks?’ ‘Do I ever want to work 9-5 in an office again after lockdown?’ ‘Will I ever go back?’

So many of us are asking such questions, and some will be surprised at the answers.

The truth is that we decide.

Yuri, we’re all astronauts now, astronauts of our thoughts, feelings, and imaginations.

It took confinement to learn that the sky, and beyond, are the only limits.
