I found this today as I do so many things this week, online, since we're all at home, isolated. I thought it fantastic and so appropriate.
When this is over
May we never again Take for granted A handshake with a stranger Full shelves at the store Conversations with the neighbors A crowded theatre Friday night out The taste of communion A routine checkup The school rush each morning Coffee with a friend The stadium roaring Each deep breath A boring Tuesday Life itself
When this ends May we find That we have become More like the people We wanted to be We were called to be We hoped to be
And may we stay That way – better For each other Because of the worst
– Laura Kelly Fanucci
Be well out there, y'all. Stay safe. Stay home.
