Hope Springs Eternal The hospital is full, and we are holding patients in the emergency department. We had a brief decrease in COVID patients, but that did not last long. And it was a full moon. I came home from work one day and saw this flower blooming in my flower bed. It is the first spring bloom that I have seen this year. I live in the South, so it is not unusual to have flowers bloom early, especially if it has been a warm winter. For some reason, though, this caught me off guard. And I felt like crying. It's such a small thing, yet it had a huge impact on me. There is hope. Despite all that we have been through in the last year, there is always hope, and this is one way that God reminds us.

Cuéntenos, ¿cómo cree que será el mundo después de que pase la pandemia del coronavirus?
Me parece que nada será igual. Hoy muchos seguimos teniendo miedo de contagiarnos a pesar de estar vacunados, la mascarilla se ha vuelto parte de nuestra vestimenta diaria, incluso los vestidos de fiesta ya traen una mascarilla como complemento. Pienso también que algunos nos hemos vuelto menos afectivos, abrazamos y saludamos menos a la gente, y cuidamos más el espacio personal. La entrada al trabajo también habrá de debilitar más los lazos sociales pues los espacios para tomar alimentos serán más controlados y no se permitirá tantas personas a la vez. Algo preocupante cuando somos seres sociales por naturaleza.
