But I can’t seem to feel even further from everyone. A ripple effect From one business to the next From house to house. My neighbors one by one covered with masks Their doors closed with boards covering the windows. A yardstick between friendships and strangers. A yardstick between shopping carts. Long lines and wait times. Miles of yard sticks and masked neighbors outside of the local grocery. Revine like relationships. Big gaps of time without communication. Long hours of solitude. All passing while we stay hidden under masks and sheets. Long hours of rest. Long hours of restlessness. Hospital beds full of anxious messes. Hospitals running low on supplies. Groceries with empty shelves and stock rooms. I’m not sick with it. I’m sick with something else. Something that is so foreign but familiar. I’m sick. I keep myself on mute. Hidden in my room. Declining calls, keeping messages on unread for hours. All while I know what they’re thinking. Staring at my ceiling. No energy, nowhere to be. In times like these we turn to our habits. The ones we keep to ourselves. I see smoke in the sky. I see broken bottles on the sidewalk. I turned to mine, I drawing with my pen coloring the page red. They said they closed non essentials. What about those of us who’s essentials are offices giving us support?. I’m stuck in my house, in my bed, in my head. I create excuses, feeling sorry for me and everyone else. Sorry that there’s nothing we can do. Sorry I feel this way. Sorry I am speechless. Sorry that I feel more alone even if I’m not sick. Sorry that you may be sick. Sorry no one is safe. Sorry. I see the words on the screen. What is real? What is fake? What is a dream? There’s people I want to protect. But there’s nothing to do. There’s nothing I can do. There’s this girl. I want her safety more than anything. I cannot afford for her to get sick. This girl isn’t me. For I am not a girl. But she’s already infected. Infected with the voices that plague me too. Leaving me stuck in my bed. All while the world around me burns.. Can’t they see we’re sick? Can’t they see that these long hours aren’t doing us well? Did they forget that the ill in my head hurts just as bad as this physical sickness? Did they forget because they can’t see it? But they can see it. Can’t they? It’s right there on my wrists. For all to see. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I tried my hardest. But in the end I got sick. But it’s not like this extreme weight in my head isn’t infectious. Don’t we all feel like this? Am I alone in this? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know I. Don’t Know. And that’s the worst part about it. Location Where was this item created?

As the pandemic continued month after month and the isolation became unbearable but still necessary, I found that I no longer gained enough intellectual satisfaction from creating classical music compositions (my forte), especially since my newest works probably would not be performed until Covid-19 was conquered. So instead I wrote and gathered together diary-like essays, literary critiques, philosophical musings, poetry, short stories, and narratives from contemporary experience as well as from deep in memory. I had written them each month to send to friends, with no thought of continuity—they would range where ever my mind and imagination wanted to go. I preferred to stay away from discussions about the coronavirus of which I knew little, the care givers who appeared to be so heroic, or the victims of the disease who were even more confined than I was and whose desperate circumstances were so frightening. Nor was I thinking of it as being a diary—my hermetic life was not interesting enough for that type of documentation. No, my writings were meant to be a diversion, to take one away from the horrific plague that in 2020-22 ingulfed us. I must confess that I have made no attempt to stick with subjects that I think would interest a general public. I am not even sure I would know what these would be. So, my suggestion is to only read those entries which excite your own imagination or generate some curiosity. About the Author Geoffrey D. Gibbs, Professor Emeritus of Music Composition at the University of Rhode Island, received a DMA degree in composition and voice from the Eastman School of Music (University of Rochester, NY) in 1974. Born in 1940, Dr. Gibbs began his music training at age seven and was soon composing his own pieces. In high school he studied composition privately with Elie Siegmeister noted for championing American folk music. At Eastman he studied composition with Howard Hanson and Bernard Rogers. He began teaching composition and related subjects at URI in 1965 and has remained in Rhode Island since that time. He retired from URI in 2001 to devote all of his energies to creative projects. His interest in literature blossomed when he typed, edited, and annotated a thousand of his father’s poems and many essays. During his years of retirement three operas of his were premiered. His works were performed in Boston, Providence, Dartmouth College, the University of Rhode Island, Vibe of the Venue, Aurea Ensemble, Verdant Vibes Ensemble and the Fall River Symphony. As well he has had works performed at the Kennedy Center (Washington, DC) and as far away as Russia and South America. As mentioned above, it was during the last two years when it was difficult to present concerts, that Geoffrey Gibbs devoted much of his time to creating his pandemic journal.

Welcome to the DLS COVID-19 time capsule archive where you can take a journey back in time to the year 2020 when everyone’s lives were turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn about how De La Salle 6th and 8th grade students adapted to quarantine and distance learning. As part of their social studies classes, students were asked to share what they did while stuck at home including taking classes via Zoom (a video conferencing program), pursuing new and old hobbies, staying connected with friends, and spending WAY more time with their families than ever before. They were able to share these videos and slideshows with their classmates and hope that sometime in the future these projects will help students just like them learn about the unusual spring of 2020.
