During this time of uncertainty, fear, and hectic-ness, I’ve been trying to find the words for what we’ve been experiencing. I’ve turned to others for inspiration and explanation, and I’ve found some things worth sharing.
From Harvard Business Review’s “That Discomfort You’re Feeling is Grief”
“The loss of normalcy; the fear of economic toll; the loss of connection. This is hitting us and we’re grieving. Collectively. We are not used to this kind of collective grief in the air.”
Acceptance, as you might imagine, is where the power lies. We find control in acceptance. I can wash my hands. I can keep a safe distance. I can learn how to work virtually.

From Emma Zeck, a poet:
I hope you are all staying safe, staying sane, and going forth with love during this time.
