I’ve blogged before about how we can’t “return to normal.” That normal wasn’t where we need to be, now that we’re awake. I still believe that to be true in many ways, but I also recognize the longing for regular. The pandemic has almost become regular at this point, and it’s disheartening. Is it possible for us to strive for both? To watching football on a Sunday in January without considering politics? Yet to also hold ourselves and our representatives accountable so we can build the best world we can? I hope we try for both. The simple fact remains: we can’t go back. We can only go forward... let’s choose love.
