Talk about what brings you happiness these days.
One thing that brings me happiness is creating abstract artwork in old school Photoshop 5.5 using the Kai's Power Tools plug-in called Texture Explorer. Before the pandemic I was thinking of resurrecting my Titanium G4 Powerbook from 2001 and running some of the KPT visionary software that has since been abandoned. The entire process of getting the computer working in the first place made me pretty happy, and now I create a few of these cellular landscapes each day, listening to music and getting lost in the process. They each take about an hour because the CPU processing is limited to 68K and there's a lot of waiting, but it's worth it. I create them and they remind me of the way we have all changed in the past year, how we have become more aware of living life on a molecular level with differing influences as we change our behavior. I'm trying to make that awareness beautiful.

Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.
I think in general people are supportive of one another in this small community. Yes they are kind in the street and skooch over when we pass by each other. Our local restaurant is doing fish dinners for Lent ( take out) and everyone is wearing masks when you go in. Lots of people are walking. In our village of 1500. But there are places that people gather in a group, I am just choosing to avoid it. Will I ever feel at ease in large groups ever again? I wonder.
