Picnics are times to get outside, relax and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine, engage with friends and even make new ones. They represent for us a time to recharge from the past, refocus, reimagine and find fresh encouragement and energy for the future.
“Do you remember when . . .” represents a time when that particular activity was severely constrained by the Covid19 pandemic. Picnics were memories only, serving as therapy for our spirits, a time to reminisce and provide some refreshing for our souls. Yet at the same time they have the potential to fuel frustration and anger at our situation; to conjure up angst about our current situation, about who we are and who others are – yet there is hope. Even though there may be some disintegration of the fabric of our memories there is hope – hope in a future of glorious living, where we have hopefully learned a little more of how to embrace change, built some grit into our beings and once again enjoy times together again, albeit in a different way.
