In a couple of minutes, our Majesty the Queen will speak to us Danes. It has not happened since World War 2, where the King spoke about the liberation.
Right now, the press conference orders that we must not gather more than 10 people at a time.
This is deeply serious.
When the Queen addresses the Danish nation, I will stop writing and listen.
When I can breathe without crying again, I will return to the keyboard, for life must go on, only in slow motion.
Tonight, my anxiety and my tears are allowed to be free. I can control it, but I need to let out some steam and to rant.
People are singing from their homes. And at seven p.m. each night, people clap their hands out of the windows as a thank you to the people who work extremely hard to take care of us all.
Yesterday, I gave the workers in our local shop a box of chocolate because they work so hard to make sure that there is enough food and other necessities.
We had tears in our eyes, and my voice was insecure. But to see them smile, it was worth the trouble.
I´m close to tears right here, right now. I won´t hold them back tonight. I spoke with my father almost for an hour earlier today. It was blessed to her his voice. He is 82 years old, and I know the risk.
I´m restless, very tired mentally, and anxious to the bone. But if you could see me now, you would notice outer calm. It´s the inner storm that is tormenting me these days.
The children were even more loving both this morning and at dinner tonight. We seven stand united together and try our best to come through rough days.
But to be brutally honest, it´s getting tougher by the hour. I´m more stressed and need more breaks during the day.
And now the Queen speak …
… The Queen was serious, yet mildly smiling to us. Her words touched me in the bottom of my heart, and I took some deep breaths with silent cries in them.
Without tears, for right now, I´ll save them for worse days than today.
Got a new contact opportunity, and I will ask the person who took the initiative, if I may post a link to their Facebook-group.
It´s an online chance to meet people from new perspectives, and the aim is to offer comfort, mental support, and help across borders between people.
A place to meet online, now that offline is utter silence in the streets.
I feel this is the silence before the storm. It is a changed world now, and it will spin even faster than usual in the near future.
I pray that I tomorrow at 10 a.m. will receive a phone call from my counselor, but I also prepare myself for the possibility that he´s busy with his other 85 citizens who need help more than me.
I will consecrate and charge a magick healing candle tomorrow for the world. And when I work with magick, I will solely focus on aspects of healing and kindness.
I will do chores that I hate to do but are necessary to keep one´s mind in check. Time feels different these days. And it´s best to try to keep things as normal as possible.
Life is in slow-motion, and home is bliss.
Tonight, I will try not to think about all this too much. And I send all the people in the world my warmest thoughts and hugs. We need it now.
So, please take good care of yourself and others. And help where you can.
