I'm not sure which part of me likes lockdown but it does. It seems to savour the stillness of each day even though most of me likes loud music and dark dancefloors. And yet here I am, day in day out, absorbing the sun and the rain like an immobile plant.

I'm not sure which part of me likes lockdown but it does. It seems to savour the stillness of each day even though most of me likes loud music and dark dancefloors. And yet here I am, day in day out, absorbing the sun and the rain like an immobile plant. Perhaps that's why I notice growth spurts in my offspring, because normally we are never static enough to see them. But now we are like a time-lapse recording; stay in one place long enough and you'll capture minute movements. Perhaps lockdown has amplified the beauty of growth - the tiny incremental spurts of change that regularly go unnoticed.

Stay still enough and you'll even notice the quiet musings of your mind.
