As I continue to operate Zoom to teach,
I also begin to reorganize my desk.
This is what my Zoom class/office/desk

The computer energies
from the laptop combine
with the computer energies
from the Opon Ifa
For the first time,
many of us
are faced with the new reality
of being alone
even among a group of loved ones;
unloved ones; workmates;
colleagues; friends; foes;
Accept yourself.
Whatever your failing,
regardless of your weaknesses.
Love and cuddle your life
appreciate the little you have.
Cherish what nature handed you
keep it well
this mini that you have.
