Perhaps what’s so stressful about the world right now is the illumination of how finite we are. It’s going to end some day. But when I spend time, even virtually, with those I love, it reinforces the magnificence of that limitation. We don’t live forever, but we get to choose who we are with. How wonderful is it to enjoy good times with friends, to have heartfelt family moments? We may not have every opportunity right now, but at least we’re receiving the necessary perspective of how important and valuable that experience is. Our choices in company, perhaps inadvertently, say “I love you. I’m choosing to spend the limited time that I have with you.” There’s a beauty in that, even if it doesn’t continue into eternity. Just something to ponder, as we construct our bubbles and decide our courses. It’s an amazing experience to be human.
