The Rhythm of Divine Energy

written by: Milton P. Ehrlich

When my rhythm melds with your rhythm
we discover what love means in our hearts.
I write a poem all night with my flashlight-pen
while listening to Satchmo sing: What a wonderful world…
We fall asleep dancing cheek to cheek
to the beat of the earth’s pulsations.
Stand-up applauding stars are led
by a baton-wielding black guy in the sky.
When you flap your wings and begin to fly—
it makes me no longer want to rock
on my rocking chair and wait to die.

ALBERT CAMUS’S – 'THE PLAGUE' - ITS RELEVANCE TODAY by GS Subbu

It is really astounding that when you go through the book you realize that what is happening now is very similar to what has been described in graphic detail decades ago. Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
