The wider picture

The other silver lining is what’s happening to our environment. Factories shut down. Cars were parked. Boats were docked. The result? Our air and water became cleaner. The planet is actually moving differently as there is a reduction in seismic noise. Go figure.

I sometimes wonder if Mother Nature didn’t unleash COVID-19 to protect the planet from the other virus: mankind. Oh, gosh. I can see the hate mail now. But truly, while this situation has been nothing short of tragic for us humans, Planet Earth has been given a chance to breathe and reboot. She is saving herself where we humans have failed.
