Went for a bike ride trying to be “normal” but there’s an air of grey and sad, like the cold damp of the day, that just sneaks in sits in your bones. As much as things have opened up, and as safe as the vaccine snd booster have made me feel there’s now a variant. And even if the variant hadn’t emerged and we were dealing with the tail end of the pandemic there’s too much hurt and anger and fear these days. We are so divided, there’s so much distrust, that I wonder / worry if it’s possible to dig ourselves out. So as “normal” as things feel there’s an undertow I doubt will ever leave….

What a great question - because it allows you to imagine that this crazy Groundhog Day might someday end. May I ask us to all to choose to think of others and make choices for the common good? Could I ask us all to stop letting fear prevent us from being compassionate? These are the crossroads that we stand upon and will be a deciding point for the future: Will we choose to remember this time as one of heightened care for others? Or distrust? I choose care.
