March 11, 2021 Photo Sketch: Caption: This green dot has been the only way I've been able to "look" at my students, family members, my arts community, my activist friends, my church community. It's amazing to me that most of my interactions have been one dimensional for a full year now. It's like living in a new, flat dimension. Will people continuing zooming out of habit when Covid is over?

We've had several fun events this past week in my senior community -- a butterfly release, an outdoor guitar concert, and a belated Mothers Day lunch -- sure signs that we are beginning to emerge from this pandemic. Those that have been vaccinated can go about without masks, except in the licensed care areas.We are still urged to wear masks around those who have not been vaccinated -- about 30% of us in independent living. And those who have refused to get vaccinated need to continue to wear their masks. I will continue to wear my mask in almost all indoor settings as I am immunocompromised and don't feel comfortable to let go of it yet. Four people who were fully vaccinated here got covid and one died. Scary and sad.
