Slowly,
slowly... step by cautious step... We are coming out of our homes. We are seeing each other in the streets. We are coming back together! And as we move forward, we are also falling back into our old, familiar habits... "Why AREN'T you wearing a mask?" "Why ARE you wearing a mask?" "Why don't you care about public health?" "Why don't you care about civil liberties?" "Why don't you listen to SCIENCE?" "Why don't you listen to REASON?" Here's a question for us all... Why don't we STOP JUDGING and focus on CARING for each other? It is certain that we will not all agree about how to interact in our new COVID-conscious world. We're all wondering... When and where is it appropriate or necessary to wear masks? How close is TOO CLOSE... At the store? At the beach? At restaurants? On the sidewalk? On the hiking trail? When can we get back to normal life? We're all thinking about these questions... and we're all coming to different conclusions. What works for one state or one city or one neighborhood or one household, might not work for another. We're creating a new "normal" and we have to do this together. We have an opportunity to create these new norms with grace and empathy and compassion. We can do this! We can care SELFLESSLY for one another. Let's give each other a break and give each other encouragement and try to keep each other safe while we create our "new normal" TOGETHER.
