Title
Lessons for the Pandemic (and after the Pandemic)
Description
am inspired by several elders in our community, who in their nineties learned how to use Zoom. To me, their flexibility and resilience is a testament to our ability to adapt and change, at any point in life. I am inspired by community members who live on their own, and who have found ways to stay connected, week in and week out, at a time when staying connected is made so difficult. You form the heart of the community we aspire to create as we face the social challenges of Covid19. I am inspired by parents in our community, who strive to remain patient and thoughtful in their parenting, while they’re working from home. To me, they are a constant reminder to each of us of our capacity to take on more than we thought we could. And they are also an important reminder for each of us to lovingly accept our own shortcomings and imperfections and start, when need be, afresh each day. This list goes on and on. There is something else too.
