We traveled by plane to San Diego this weekend. The whole traveling experience made me really uncomfortable. The airport in San Diego was too crowded for any social distancing and so many people seemed to be wearing their masks inappropriately (noses out) or poor quality masks. The up side of the trip was going to a concert at San Diego’s new outdoor symphony venue. I love that life feels so nearly normal, even in a crowd, when we can be outdoors!

I believe the things that have changed the most since the pandemic began are the way people live and behave. It seems like many people are living in fear and suspicion. Emotions are either heightened or deadened. I don’t see much happiness or hope around me. The vaccine promises to make everything better, but I believe it is false hope. Since the pandemic, more people are behaving in ways that are destructive and divisive. We have seen demonstrations, looting, destruction, violence, and crime increase, even though people are told to social distance and stay home. Many, it seems, feel their rights are more important than the rights of others and try to punish others or prove themselves in destructive ways
