Day 365, Quasi-Quarantine: Looking Back, One Year In

 

This is a picture of Mo from a year ago ... when the reality of the new world we were facing was just starting to set in.

Since then, I've managed 220 posts here, as part of some small effort to document my mental state, jump-start creative efforts in the morning, and establish some measure of connection to the world at large.

Mostly, this effort has been to stave off constantly looking like Mo in this picture. It hasn't always worked, but it's always helped.

We are not the same people we were a year ago. Many things will never go back to "normal." Yet I'm constantly reminded of the power of words and the healing effect of the act of constructing them.

Hold on tight. 

You can almost see a light on the horizon.
