The Fixer

For the last 30 days or so, our society has been trying to determine what the heck is happening. Fear of disease weighs over us as we watch our dream jobs disappear, businesses close, savings dwindle, and relationships that were pretty good, are now hanging by threads. How are we going to evolve from this crisis? Our society is going to experience a paradigm shift in most assuredly every industry in our country.

On the other hand, many positives have happened during lockdown/isolation/
quarantine as it has forced new living arrangements, cooking and meal plans, and creative ways to solve problems. All can be a blessing, but generally it can be calamity.


It isn't difficult for me to admit that this trying time has exposed diverse emotions, as it has for every one else in this world. Here's to hoping that we can start down the path to what life used to be very soon. 
Like a lot of people, when I see or experience a problem, I look for a means to fix it. I'm not a wizard by any stretch, but I try. But the current global crisis is going to require fixing beyond anything my brain can accommodate. 

I've lately tried to escape by listening to lots of music and in a bizarre twist, one word contained in song lyrics keeps tugging at me.

Fix.

So I began to think about that.  
What is the fix? 
What needs to be fixed? 
How do we fix it? 
Where is the fix?
Who is the fixer?

Since you likely have the time, take a listen to the "fix" songs linked here and see if you can pinpoint "the fix".  I certainly wish I could be The Fixer.
