March 2020 brought with it the swift painful reality of sickness, economic hardship and social unrest. New ways of living and relating to each other. Who knew that ZOOM would become such an integral part of our lives!

Many of us yearn for a return to the way things were but I’m pretty convinced we will never return to that world, and some of it needed examination and change anyway. I’m old enough to remember the painful years in the sixties when we endured assinations, massive unrest and a reexamination of our personal and collective commitments. I also remember difficult economic downturns that brought hard lessons but also helped us reorder and move on.
