Thoughts

There are too many, yet not enough thoughts to articulate at this time. I don’t have words for the world we’re living in. My emotions, thoughts, feelings change by the day, hour and minute. I’m trying to process this unparalleled time, thinking of those who are suffering greatly, grieving parts of life that are lost and trying to humbly soak up the privilege I have been granted.

This time of COVID-19 has brought great perspective, connection in a new way with those near and far, and gratitude for common occurrences. Yet, it has also brought great sadness, fear and anxiety.

I fully acknowledge that many of these feelings, both positive and negative, come from the privilege I have been given. Things like working from home, healthy family and friends, access to food and the ability to shelter in place. While I ache for the life of ‘use-to-be’ and long for normality, I find great weight on my shoulders to do my civic duty - not just for those around me, but for the world.

I pray and long that this uncertain and far from usual time in our lives will pass and never repeat itself again, but for now, I am taking it one day, hour and minute at a time, as I hope the rest of the world is able to as well.

à la prochaine fois,
