Thank you for being so forgiving.
As a way to counteract the enforced social distancing -- myself most of the time a confined bachelor -- I indulged in a kind of gentle frenzy, went berserk after drinking the sweet wine of solitude, relaxing open-eyed at night till it dawned upon my mind: nishedha, go beyond singles, allow the interplay of a couple.
And a couple I found, hidden shyly in the recessed corner of a forgotten box. Two shiny crystals, to be set in a ring.
And was healed.
