A flash of anger

I felt very briefly angry

At the curtailment of my choices and movement

At the deprivation of eye contact and hugs and deep conversations

At my own lack of productivity

And then it shifted

And I thought, all we have to do right now is survive and get through it

You can afford to be kind to yourself today

And the anger melted to grouchy frustration

And a time-out

That made things better again

Remember you’re a kaleidoscope

There is more than one way to cope

You need so many different things

Keep the wheel turning
