WHY WILL EVERYTHING BE THIS WAY?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s imagine the past few years of our lives as a play. We are the actors. Our work, homes, schools, kindergartens, and everyday routines\u2014the stage. And the director\u2026 well, like a mushroom sprouting after the rain, it\u2019s that pesky little virus. We, the everyday actors, hear the script for the coming years and exchange glances.<\/p>\n
We laugh.<\/p>\n
We shrug and loudly declare: \u201cNonsense!\u201d We refuse to participate in such a TRAGICOMEDY.<\/p>\n
The script clearly states: Work moves home. Schools\u2014onto remote blue-screen learning. Lunches\u2014into the kitchen. Travel\u2014restricted to our neighborhood forests. Cities, streets, and roads empty. Stores hit \u201cpause.\u201d Everyone\u2019s smiles tucked behind masks, hands soaked in disinfectant that smells less than delightful.<\/p>\n
We said we wouldn\u2019t play along.<\/p>\n
Yet here we are\u2014after a full year has passed, we\u2019ve changed our minds. Obediently following the \u201cdirector\u2019s\u201d instructions, slipping into our new roles, we\u2019ve learned to go with the flow. We\u2019ve realized that not all comedies are purely funny, and not all tragedies drag you into a night-black depression.<\/p>\n
We decorated our home workspaces with fresh flowers, decided that even when no one sees, we can at least minimally dress up for ourselves, awakened the winter-dormant skills in our kitchens, discovered that each of us has a decent chef living inside, listened more carefully to our children, spent more time together as a family, and found joy in simple walks in nature. I\u2019m sure many adopted cats and dogs along the way. And in the end\u2026 after heavily critiquing the original script, we performed it\u2014surpassing even the \u201cdirector\u2019s\u201d expectations.<\/p>\n
The play seems set to continue, but now the most wonderful actor arrives: the WARM SEASON, ready to tug our altered lives toward joy and brighter emotions.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll settle on terraces, maybe even move our work desks with their blue screens outdoors, let our eyes rest on open-air horizons instead of winter-sleep and spring-rain\u2013washed windows. We\u2019ll eat outside, walk barefoot, tilt our faces to catch a few sun-kisses, gradually letting our skin take on a light sun-kissed glow and stock up on vitamin D.<\/p>\n
In front of us, \u201cbowls\u201d of strawberries and blueberries from grandma\u2019s garden. Between minute-long breaks, we\u2019ll escape into forests and meadows, stringing together strawberry necklaces, gathering handfuls of blooming wildflowers, maybe picking a small bouquet for ourselves.<\/p>\n
And then back home\u2014already our workplaces, our children\u2019s schools, our little restaurants\u2014all year round.<\/p>\n
But in this chapter of \u201clife as it happens,\u201d our HOME offices will bloom, smell fragrant, catch the warm breeze, and transform into SUMMER offices.<\/p>\n
And that, I must say, already sounds like a rather good twist in a script we once didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n
