Social distancing reminds me of some past experiences. To me, we are getting back to the simple way of life although it is more sophisticated today. I grew up in Point Fortin, Trinidad and Tobago. My summer holidays were spent in Tableland, Trinidad and Tobago. Point Fortin was a busy little town with lots of people and all the conveniences. Paved roads with a side walk, electricity, water, groceries, street lights, stores, churches, cemeteries, post office, a mailman, police station, fire station, schools, hospital, clinics, community centers, bar (rum shop), play grounds, oil refinery, and we even had a cinema and a drive-in. Tableland was not that populated. It was serene and the homes were far apart. Tall trees and bushes separated the homes. Nightfall came early in the evening. The place got pitch black because there were no street lights and the tall trees blocked the moon. There was no electricity and my grandmother used to light two lamps filled with pitch oil. One was placed on the dining table and the other in the kitchen. The fire in the lamps used to create flickering shadows on the walls. Everybody talked softly. It felt as though a louder tone would disturb the serenity. Tableland had paved and gravel roads, no side walk, a church, graveyard, school, post office but no mailman, a police station, fire station, no hospital, a clinic, a lodge (recreation hall), playground, no water system, drums used to be filled with rain water for use. There was a small shop where foodstuffs and other items were sold. My grandmother made a list of the items she needed and it was taken to the shop owner. He would put all the items she wanted in a cardboard box for pick-up. Today this virus made us step back into the old days. Order you items then pick-up or have it shipped. Ecclesiastes 1:9. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Amen.
