Exhausted today, or maybe it’s exhaustion over the accumulations of the week. Lisa home, me working from home - the first full day of the new normal. Still I can’t keep from speculating about what may come next, how long this will last, and what lessons we may take from it.
It’s amazing to see how quickly the environment has changed to meet our withdrawal. Air pollution levels drop in China, dolphins and swans exploring the canals of Venice - and here in LA, wide open roads inviting some sort of Beat Poet adventure - at least in our fantasy.
I’m also struck by many of our local hangouts transforming themselves to better serve the community. I’ve ordered freshly baked bread from the Beerlab, our local ice cream parlor will deliver pints of craft ice cream to our door. The is still so much luxury to be found mostly because there are people here invested in the community. It’s strange that we’re all in a sort of existential crisis, many business as well as many people will not survive, but for the moment we’re celebrating our lives with gratitude and authenticity - that - is a blessing.
