for now is an ongoing series of reflections on walking during the lockdown period, by Nicole Bell of Paths for All.
(I)
for now
a walk
is a kind of medicine
along with other essentials
nature is in very
limited supply
take today’s solitary walk
breathe, inhale,
look around you
nature is in very
limited supply
take today’s solitary walk
breathe, inhale,
look around you
bring it home
and treasure it
in safety
and treasure it
in safety
(II)
for now
a walk
is a reminder
a walk
is a reminder
of all we took
for granted
forced apart
forced apart
exchanging smiles
from either side
of the path
of the path
chats about the weather,
who’d have thought
we’d miss them?
who’d have thought
we’d miss them?
(III)
for now
our evening walk
is a strange walk
our evening walk
is a strange walk
jamais vu
the same steps
taken one
hundred times over
as if walked
for the first time
things will look
as if walked
for the first time
things will look
different
after the storm
after the storm
or perhaps
we will see
with fresh eyes

ReplyDeleteThis poem really resonates — I remember during lockdown, my daily walk became the highlight of my day too. It’s amazing how something so simple suddenly felt essential and healing. I know this feeling of rediscovering the ordinary — it truly helped me clear my mind before getting back to study tasks. I’ve been using affordable nursing assignment help recently and honestly, it’s been a lifesaver when things get overwhelming. It gave me a bit more space to enjoy moments like these without stressing about deadlines. 💬🌿
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I needed a break to work on the pressing responsibilities, turning to the Dissertation writing service london. They are professionally handling the structural work of my chapters, enabling me to meet professional deadlines without neglecting my thesis. This support allows me to stay involved with my research and ensure that the heavy lifting is managed. I regained crucial time that way and could later bring my voice to a final draft with clarity and purpose.
