Just past equinox and three months since the solstice. That
December night we experienced an evening of live music with Peter Mayer in
Slater. Such a wonderful start to winter. Not my favorite season but Peter
warmed my heart with his poetry and voice on the longest night of the year.
Now he has pledged to release a new song on youtube everyday till "the distancing is over."
I’m pondering the energetic events and surprises of the past
three months. Working in retail fueled December, campaigning for Mayor Pete
consumed January, kaboom the caucuses deflated February but energy rebalanced
with community valentine makers in our dining room, and the dogs - always the
dogs. All beneath the brewing cloud of covid-19.
December seems like much longer ago than three months. I
contemplate three months ahead and cannot imagine what will happen to all of
us. It’s an anxious fearful time that I cannot fully understand. I can only
live each day with mindfulness, humility, and compassion. I aspire to let the
covid-19 experience make me the best possible person that I can be. Meanwhile, we shall rely upon Maxwell as stabilizer supreme.
