A fool’s hope?

· Leave a comment ·

This is another one of those painted pebbles that appeared around the local lake during COVID time. Small messages when it was difficult to communicate. For a while the pandemic brought us together by keeping us apart.

I wonder, though, if being hopeful was justified? The pandemic went away. This one, at least. The virus has remained but seems tamed (for the moment). But what about the all the conspiracy theories that stayed, divisions between people? For a while the pandemic brought us together by keeping us apart.

Traditional collage

The method may be more traditional, similar to collages done by school children who glue cut-outs from magazines on a large piece of paper, the message unfortunately is very modern. These are all painted pebbles from a pebble snake which was started during the lock down. It is on a walkway where there are always lots of people, particularly on weekends, but during the lock down it was particularly busy – without being crowded. Distancing was always possible. And I felt I had to add a protective umbrella as my own message.
