https://spitalfieldslife.com/2020/04/26/social-distancing-with-my-mother/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 09 May 2020 09:26:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 https://spitalfieldslife.com/2020/04/26/social-distancing-with-my-mother/#comment-1337837 Sat, 09 May 2020 09:26:39 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=181027#comment-1337837 Thoughtfully and sensitively written. We can each interpret the scenario in our own ways, which surely is one hallmark of great writing. Anthropologist? Surely, in our time that is a ‘proper’ job. Just as we think we know ourselves intimately, there has never been a better time for someone to explain why we do, act, and think as we do.

Every instalment brings a new revelation. It feels like discovering a new neighbour, friend even. Thankyou and Ramadan Mubarak

Please keep them coming. I hope Ramadan isn’t too upsetting for your mother this year.
My daughter lived in Wentworth street for a few years so I know this area a little
Sending my warmest wishes to you both ?

I have experienced a similar situation but it seems we are three weeks ahead from you in Spain. There is a lot to reflect upon it, it seems we could go out for a walk in a week here, so that will come soon for you too. However, the only way to overcome all of it will be through lived moments like that one, smiling uncertainty with love and care, best wishes
