I'm okay (for now.)
Is everyone okay?
I need everyone to be ok.
I pity anybody who still can't see the truth: we're all in this together.
THIS---the present, the near-future---is our great shared experience.
Our hands are forced, our cards on the table.
I'm seeing displays of self-sacrifice, compassion, mindfulness, but also hatred, ignorance, and brutishness.
This is when our true colors show.
Charles Dickens:
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair." —Charles Dickens, A TALE OF TWO CITIES
