The battle is ended
Bodies buried
Weapons packed away
But memories #lingered

Shouts and cries
The #chill of carnage
Sleepless nights

The fear
The pain
The grief

Wounds of war live on
In lives not lived
Scarred hearts
Fractured minds

Peace isn't merely
An end to active fighting
It's a state of the heart
The mind and spirit

Peace is a way of being
Far beyond the battle
A field cultivated
Across a lifetime
May we meet there
At the end

I’m so #sorry
Hasn’t been well #advertised that #reproductiveNumber no longer what it was since even last #fall. My #nightmare that #honest to God didn’t think would ever happen, was it would become as #transmissable as #measles which I’d read #lingered in #air #hours

For #reference measles R14-18?
Jump in July from BA.1 to BA.5 & now here we are in #winter dry #air

There’s a WSJ 12/2020 article that explains #RelativeHumidity
I miss 2020;unbelievably🤦🏻‍♀️
