Isaac Newton went home when the plague threatened. In that year of isolation, he reinvented the way we see the physical world. He invented the Calculus. It has been called the Annus Mirabilis, the “wonderful year” or the “miracle year.”
And now you, quarantined as you are because of Covid-19, also have an opportunity. This probably won’t last a year, but in whatever duration it does last, you have the opportunity to devise your own “wonderful time,” call it your “Tempus Mirabilis.”
There will be those who simply complain, and there will be those who will become to some degree, even a small one, the twentieth-first century version of Isaac Newton. Your choice.
