Heroes Not Zombies

All forms of life exist within complex webs of relationships. None exist without interacting with other members of the same species and with a multitude of other organisms which make up the rich diverse networks of Earth’s biospheres.

Human beings have taken socialisation to new levels. A baby human would have no chance of survival without a rich number of loving, caring, nourishing relationships.

We need to connect. We need to relate. We need to communicate, to love and to care.

Our brains have evolved to equip us with astonishing abilities to establish and nurture relationships.

So maybe in this pandemic we need to be careful about physical closeness with large groups in closed spaces but now, as ever, we need social closeness not social distancing.
