2020 hasn’t given me too many moments of escape or vacation. It’s been the quieter and familiar that has had to evolve from work to rest to rest to play to vacation to back to work.
I was able to cherish the moment a lot better than I used to.
I made joy out of leaking sink faucets, exposed shoulders under blankets, and the angles of light coming through a window.
Regardless of that, I have grown closer to the people around me who have shared love with me. The pandemic has caused people to consider life in different ways.
We’re all navigating our pain and confusion differently.
The biggest reminder for me: we need one another. We have to manage how to do this shit all together. It’s falling apart. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
We have to want to do better. We have to make the moments in our lives matter more. We need to develop a desire to improve our daily habits.
It’s start with love: inward than out. No one has the answers... and thank goodness for that.
I’ve been looking at the sky a lot more lately. I’m reminded of our smallness and thinness. I know that frailty means we are incapable of living too long in this life, and that each person’s eternity is the extent that their heart reaches the next beat.
It’s is in our flimsy, flailing bodies that are unyielding and unbroken. May we learn how we fold and bend into one another. May we learn wholeness.
