Our world changed, and yet it didn’t change a lot. 

It shrunk as the walls closed closer around us, only us,  blocking off and out all that wasn’t ours and as we expanded into the spaces created by this new world order, our world grew richer and deeper and tighter. 

While life and death raged outside, life and death whispered more quietly to us within the confines of our life - ‘we are here’ they said, ‘we are here and we aren’t going anywhere.’
