Because the world has corona.(65 x 100 cm) , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas.

When the whole world is entrenched in the bunker of physical and often emotional isolation, only flexibility and ingenuity can revive us to remain grounded and imbibe the bolstering sunlight piercing through the canvas of chaos.

It is the poets, artists, and musicians that will carry us through the pandemic attacks into a new reality. They are the ones who tell us how to navigate, breathe, feel, think, enjoy, and fully live our lives.

The writing has been on the wall for some time, but many have ignored the clear signs of a viral disease. They were more alarming than a bit of flu. Remaining willfully unaware is a sin against humanity when disregarding warnings causes a worldwide misfortune.

Ignorance is killing poison. When people do not communicate, they are doomed to remain ignorant. If people do not get together and share views and exchange ideas, they remain unconscious and unaware. A world without dialogue is a universe of darkness.

Living in space we do not intuit may make everything meaningless, incoherent, and forcefully scary. If fear rules our lives, we lose the core of our being since 'fear' disrupts the schedule of our existence and blocks the soothing waves of sound vibrations.

If riotous protests create rampant polarization, fear may create fear, fear of the others, and fear of oneself. It might, ultimately, kill healing feelings, universal goodwill, and mutual understanding
