Show Us Your Pandemic Pastime
A friend of mine and I have been getting together when possible
for a socially distance walk. He is a psychiatrist and, in my opinion,
brilliant. Our conversation turned to a topic another friend noted in
an email to my colleagues and me. He pointed out how civilization
has continued to evolve throughout history and will continue to
evolve into the future. That got us to thinking about a question.
When did civilization begin? One philosopher believed that
civilization began with the beginning of language. This would be
considered essential for communication and the transfer of ideas. An
anthropologist believed that civilization began with the use of tools.
Tools for hunting, planting, making shelter, even for fighting. While
these milestones are definitely important, and I admit I may be biased
here, I think a physician gave the best answer to this question. He
said that civilization began when the first human survived a broken
leg. In the animal kingdom a broken leg would mean certain death.
But for a human to survive meant that one or more other humans
circled around the injured, protected him from being preyed upon
and nursed him back to health, all while putting themselves at risk of
an outside attack. From that day forward, every civilization has been
measured based on how that society treats those in need.
Remember to take the time to thank the people on the front line
of this crisis... the grocery store worker, the mail carrier, the cafeteria
staff, the restaurant owner/worker, the orderly, the cleaning staff, as
well as the nurses and doctors. None of them wear capes, but they
all wear masks and gloves. These are the times that define who we are.
They are the ones who are advancing our civilization.
I have always enjoyed sewing and began exploring
quilting with the pandemic. In the last year I've completed
over 10 quilts and have 3 more in progress! I truly enjoy
and find peace in sewing and completing these projects.
