Never in our lifetimes did we think we would see such a rapid change in our daily lives. Even after September 11, 2001, we were able to hug each other, eat out, play basketball, grieve and worry as a community. Now, we shelter in place and avoid contact in order to stem the viral transmission of a fairly lethal virus. But like nature recovering from a natural "event," we too will grow even more resilient, stronger, and have a greater capacity to be a community. Right now, in our opinion, it is important to care give for yourself, your family, your friends. But if you can, look forward. Think about what we want this world to look like when we all open our doors and windows to see each other. And also, don't forget that while this virus seems scary and horrible, we also still need to worry about other natural events like wildfire. Spend this time thinking about defensible space around your homes, water access, and prepare. Last, don't forget to spend time outside. Nature is healing, curative, a balm in this time of high stress and anxiety.
