Hello, my dear readers. In today situation of overall panic and quarantine, there are a lot of versions and reasons of coronavirus appearance. Today I wanted to share some thoughts on that, not mine, but ones I met, browsing on the net. However, I think authors’ point of view is most reasonable and deserves attention. There is information, that in Venice, the water in the canals became transparent. In another popular tourist destination, which is now empty, rare beautiful birds appeared. Maybe the planet wants to rest? She is tired of the hustle and bustle of people, she throws up storms and showers, she has temperature and causes warm winters, she shakes herself with earthquakes, like a dog that is tired or out of the water. Now Earth has an autoimmune disease, and the planet has chosen a way to cure it: gather everyone at home. Each resident is inside his country, inside his house, closer to his native walls. To rest from work, fuss, eternal haste. To remember about your health, about board games, about tea parties with parents and children. To bake a pie, the dough of which requires five hours of attention, instead of a hot dog on the run. To watch how coffee is brewed in a Turk, long brought from a trip, and slowly drink it from a beautiful cup. Draw a picture, copy recipes into a notebook, transplant flowers. The planet drives us home, so we can clean it up: starting from our room, continuing with our thoughts. Perhaps then we will begin to appreciate. And soon we will return to the coveted tourist spots, which so far will have a rest without us. Spring will breathe life into them, renew it with fresh air without endless selfies and rubbish underfoot. And it will open to us a new world that we need to start protecting now, at this moment, starting with ourselves. What do you think of that? Write me and share your opinion! Thanks for reading, Ekaterina
