I would have never guessed that this is how things would be in 2020.  The 4th of July was gentle and slow.  There were some fireworks.  It was a hot summer day.  It was nice to just sense myself as I moved around without the rush of preparing for some event. It’s weird to have this kind of time.  I am grateful that I am not under pressure at this moment.  I send my heartfelt gratitude to those who are taking care of people and providing the services that we all need to continue.  I also send my deepest respect to those suffering in this time. May we all find just a little more space and kindness.
