At least in the Bay Area, the trees and plants have no idea what season it is. I have several friends whose allergies are off the charts...in January.

I think about the hundreds of companies in Silicon Valley that are now fully remote but intend to go back to the office, whenever they are able to do so.

It just seems like a whole new world now. Can you imagine 'back to normal,' whenever the pandemic has subsided? Can you foresee how climate change will change our daily lives?

Perhaps we didn't choose this, but we certainly have to deal with it, one way or another. It's the world we're living in. So what will it be?

I believe we can collectively work towards solutions to our problems. I believe we can coexist, despite our perceived differences. And I believe we can all find fulfillment during our time here, each in our own way.

We just have to see it all laid out in front of us, for what it truly is. We are a part of something greater, something synergistic, something that has been building for millennia. How will we contribute?
