Riders on the Storm

Uncertainty and anxiety rises

Messages mix and merge and mingle

No clear path on where this may lead

Or what our future will entail

What is happening

What can we do

But wait and watch and hope

That soon this storm will pass

(As we know it will)

But at what cost

This photo was taken 10 minutes after the one I posted yesterday, and man what a massive difference those 600 seconds makes!

The situation was so incredibly fast-paced we had to work hard to adapt to the conditions so we could best create an image that is evocative and powerful and reflective of the conditions as they were.

But it is these conditions I love.

It focuses my mind and puts me in 'action' mode. I am in control of myself and my little sphere.

Being able to assess and adapt is an important part of life, but one I'm not known at being great at. I'm not the most flexible of people. I struggle with change from the norm, when chaos comes from order, or control is lost.

So this current situation is one I am doing my best not to become anxious about. I'm trying to take it one day at a time and follow the advise, but it can be tough.

All I (we) can do is continue to breathe, provide support to those that need it, and seek support when I need it too.

And ride out this storm.
