In the sixteenth week of the Quarantine

I share these wise observations from novelist and friend Josephine Humphreys:

How we move ahead.This plan is not for everyone. 

It's just the way we two old people see the future unrolling before us.


Things are not going to get better for a long long time. Years. Things will be getting much much worse. We will not see a return to that condition we used to call "normal." 

So we will each seriously guard against depression, anger, fear, disappointment, etc., and we will even more seriously guard each other against those things. We'll help family and friends guard themselves as well. We'll look for new ways to connect with people, nature, music, literature, dogs, ideas, justice, history, art, vegetables, memories, wit and humor. And we'll have fun along the way.
