Enjoy the Moment
During corona crisis in „social distancing mode“ Greybeard starts to daydream. He remembers places where he has already been and situations when he had felt happy.
He recognizes how valuable these memories are, how precious the moments were.
How it felt running barefeet across a lawn, only limited by the horizon. The emotions being on the dancefloor, close contact with a lot of sweating people, most of them unknown. Walking randomly in the streets, stepping in a café or buying something to eat from a small shop, no worries about disinfecting the hands and special hygiene. Enjoying the taste of fresh fruit, the warmth of a handshake or the intensity of a hug.
He realizes how he misses this all, the carefreeness of life before the virus. He imagines how it will feel to have it back, how precious these small things are. Enjoy the moment, enjoy life, he says to himself, even in the current situation, it could be even worse.
He sights, opens the door to step out to his balcony, turns his face towards the sun and savors the warmth on his skin.
