It's long...I had a lot to say
So my last piece was written before shutdown, before staying at home was for the good of all, before schools closed and went virtual, before our lives were upended, and before many lost theirs. It was written before we began again this walk to justice, this walk to civil rights for all. It was written before people began to ask me if we experienced what was being talked about in public by all - and what's more what is being listened to by most. It was written in the before time changed world. Today, we are beginning to open up again. We are careful, many wear our masks faithfully to protect others. Some just don't care and have no problems telling others this. They have outed themselves in their selfishness and lack of care about their elders and neighbors. I washed 7 masks yesterday doing my laundry! SEVEN! That alone tells me how much I've traveled about in the past week. My usual number was TWO for the week. I'm even getting used to matching the masks to my shirt...
