A Very Special Dedication
Of
Habitat, and Hope
The anti-mermaid lives outside her
mythical habitat, struggling to swim against the tide of modern life. She’s
Covid, coughing, gasping for air, drowning in an alien murky sea of despair, an
ocean of grief, pain and sorrow. But she’s tough: a fighter, a lover of the
good, a kind nurse, a caring soul, an example to us all. She will make it
through, grow a mermaid’s tail of her own, and live to be free: happy, content,
swimming in the warm swell of love which tends us all, her underlying torrent
of strength, her bubbly, frothy, inexhaustible hope, a driven will to overcome
the odds, that will surely see us through!
(New Life after Covid-19)
For the ill, the heroic nurses and doctors of the NHS, carers in
homes, at home, essential front-line workers, and the furloughed. That they shall
find new hope.
