...despite CoVid ramping up there seems an air of calm about. Friends are getting the vaccine....and I’m watching videos of cows getting their hooves trimmed... so mundane... no longer scouring the news for whatever alternate fact had grabbed hold of the alternate news that seeped into an alternate universe that felt like it could explode at anytime... and it did eventually on Jan 6, threatened again for Jan 20th and yet a smooth transition minus the tradition of one President acknowledging the next. It’s nice to have grownups back in charge... what still waits to be seen is whether the bullies of the defeated can actually reconcile the fact that it is a new and different game...

Well, when I saw the full page article in the New York Times about this Pandemic Journaling Project I almost jumped for joy. We are all being listened to! Our suffering and thoughts and fears are being recognized! One of the things about this project that really amazes me is that people all over the world who come from so many different backgrounds in so many different circumstances are experiencing the same feelings. I feel heard and comforted. Thank you!
