You have an uncanny way of framing what is happening, of finding the perfect quote, and of putting it all together. I'm so grateful every week for your thoughts and reflections.
You always have the best quotes...
Don't get me started on entitled joggers and their poor grasp of measurements...
Love to all Libera Leonards from another muthah who gets off on welcoming the crazy kids in her orbit.
Great stuff as always Kelly, be well and safe my man. On a side note if you would have told me the Cubs would not have a loss so far this season I would have taken it :) love to you and Anne, and Nick !!!
I’ve been thinking that the impulse to unmask when seeing unmasked groups could be muscle memory. An unconscious response to a silent, imagined? cultural? message that everything is actually ok. Everything is not ok; we are not in a coal mine; the maskless are not canaries.
Note to self: Re-train the muscle memory.
Thank you so much, Kelly, for your weekly thoughts.
Randy and I just took a walk around the neighborhood with Teddy, zig-zagging to avoid others, and dropped off some food at the Friendship Center collection house. And I lost it. Your statement 'This calamity presents a unique opportunity to replace fear with kindness, oppression with equity, and the value of money with the value of meaning. ' was exactly what I'm grappling with. My question to myself, to my family and to everyone, 'what should I do?' In addition to my long-standing current efforts, what's the next step? And what will it take to change the minds of those who want it to go back to the way it was? Good to get a bit of a release, but to do? PS We're working on your trellises this weekend...something positive to focus on. Sending love your way. Keep writing...
