Ides of Marcharona





As we closed out the month of March that felt like 90 days of weariness it was hard to put into words all that had befallen mankind from the first of the month till today. There are simply no words. 

There have been myriad lists and instructional videos created on how to deal with this "disruption". There’s been hurt, pain, anguish, confusion experienced in sheer measures. But for some of us, perhaps only a handful of us, there are simply no words. 

The mere existence of being in this state, this holding pattern, this instituted pause, defies reasonable explanation. It’s bad enough that some of us were already experiencing what I term a “career desolation phase” but then the rest of the world joined in, which made it even more… unnerving.

Good thing about a new month is that the newness brings with it so much hope. That’s it! That's the word I choose to embrace - hope. Hope that we (the world's economies, our psychés and our proverbial careers) all turn the corner and somehow beat this. 


Night is darkest before the Dawn, right? Well, Dawn...soon come.
