This marathon social distancing practice is really soaking the life out of me. When can we all leave our masks behind and meet face to face again?
Have been keeping myself busy with studio work, calligraphy practice, and cartooning. One of the breakthrough this week was making a protective visor with 3D printing and standard materials like A4 transparencies and a hole-puncher. Makers in the US have been making and donating thousands of these PPE to their local frontline medics. Never thought 3D printing technology can be employed to save lives, and seeing how quickly these DIY face shields have been proliferating in response to the sharp rising demand during this pandemic was a revelation and encouraging experience. Maybe it’s time to put on my dusty engineering hard hat and iron ring and see if I can be of any use to help humanity during this dark difficult time.
Seeing how internet technologies have been used to connect and entertain ppl around the world during this social-distancing pandemic also got me thinking about getting back to doing some web programming work. I’ll probably need some time to pick up on the latest development, but I guess it’s never too late to start if the direction is right.
I’ll continue to keep my inking endeavor as a hobby. Art is not a critical sport during this pandemic, but it certainly helps me stay sane while social distancing. Art has always been my good companion when I’m alone.
I think last week’s video clip by an astronaut on social isolation had triggered the many thoughts on my “mission” in this world. It also helps to stay hopeful and prepare for the future, especially during these gloomy days. The day shall come when we’ll meet and be joyful again.
Oh Lord, my Father in heaven, You have sent Your one and only Son on a mission to die and save us sinners more than 2000 years ago. Can You also tell me my purpose on Earth?
