November, a month
when people anticipate
upcoming winter
November, a month
when people vouch to raise awareness
about men’s health issues
November, a month
with people on tenterhooks
about more lockdowns
November, a month
when even the aeolist
may not survive the pandemic

I had to look up what an aeolist was, but that’s okay! 🙂 Good write, and I love the expression “on tenterhooks” here — so accurate!

Aeolists is a new term to me, but I like the way it rolls from the tongue and I like the definition. I’ve known aeolists and didn’t know it!! Great write.

Thanks Beverly :). It was a new one for me too :D. But yeah it definitely is quite an interesting word.

November, a month to remember: Other generations have had it as hard, have had it harder; we will get through this
transitionofthoughts
I am sure we will. Fingers crossed :). Humanity always recovers but sadly though the cost is high for many individuals.

And were it not we’d have out-eaten the world by now. I’m not implyng the need of periodic culls, just stating a fact

Yeah I always believe that there are crests and troughs in our life. I am sure there will be a crest soon enough one day.

Individual, societal, cultural… global? Now that would be nice 🙂

Folks who take that ‘never gonna get me, it’s a hoax’ attitude ~~~ endanger us all. Lots of wisdom in your words today.

Oh yes, quite sadly many such folks have lost their lives or their loved ones :(. And there are still many such who are suffering and endangering others.
