Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
I am utterly grateful to the scientists and doctors who have made a vaccine possible this fast. I am also grateful to our doctor who graciously let us get some of their clinic worker’s vaccine. It takes a time like this to reassess how important life is, and what parts of that life are especially dear. When I hear my relatives in Florida in a panic because they can’t get an appointment, it brings me back to USA Crazyland again. It also reinforces to me that we are all getting old, not just older, we are the ages that our grandparents died.
But I also know that without Covid and the use of Zoom, I would never have been able to enjoy an afternoon of music from my son’s porch in Pennsylvania, he and his friend Micah rehearsing to play at a Mennonite vigil tomorrow night, for peace in the important week to come. I know that I would never have been checking in with my dear friends weekly for a Zoom chat, especially including Jan and Donna who both moved away from here, but are still part of our group. And I realize once again how irrational humans can be, and that we must choose our closest friends carefully. You can lead a human to a vaccine, a facemask, hand sanitizer, but you can’t make them drink! So even after we are vaccinated, the new normal will be to watch out for the free-floating germs out there, working their way into both human thoughts and actions. Stay safe! --Cynthia
