Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's a beautiful, warm day and we took a morning walk that settled us somewhat, but we are a shaky couple right now.  We bickered yesterday morning, then in the evening our irritation with each other flared up again.  My husband went downstairs.  I stayed upstairs and tried to sleep.  By the morning, we were careful with each other, but still nothing had been reconciled.  We are locked in place together, and it is not a pretty picture some of the time.  We are fortunate people, but our minds are no more noble than anyone else's despite it.  Fear and uncertainty are eating away at us and those we love, and while we attempt to comfort each other, we radiate those fears.  Everyone is tired of being careful, and the next bit of time is dangerous.  We're not sure how much the sheltering is working.  We trust our governor, but where is the testing to give us some answers?  It looks like many of us carried this virus much earlier than we thought, and how many are carriers now?  Was my husband's and my flu THIS flu, or another?  And even if we had it, does it provide any immunity?  Nobody knows.  Don't know, don't know, don't know.
