REBORN

By Dr. Elvie Razon-Gonzales

I lock our clinic door, rub my hands with a generous amount of alcohol. I quicken my pace as I head to my happy place: stacks of books on the floor, wall-to-wall books mounted in four corners, posters of vintage covers above. For one glorious hour, I sniff the moldy pages and I am reborn.

LIFE ZOOMED OUT

By Dr. Iris Thiele Isip-Tan

I was comfortable enough online BC (Before Covid). 

But life became a series of Zoom meetings.  

Meetings which could have been emails.  

I refuse to be Zoombified! 

One Zoom meeting at a time.  

No matter how many gadgets I could turn on. 

Leave meeting. Go to next.  

My life by Google calendar. 

Close laptop.  

Sleep.
