The title makes refrence to our mutual cooperation and assistance during the Coronavirus pandemic of 2019-2020. I perform the hand washing codes that became ubiquitous. The World Health Organization officially recommends ash as a soap substitute considered more effective than water alone. Here my hand washing routine becomes a desperate and futile act against the wind that threatens and frustrates my washing medium of wood ashes.
