Metabolizing Change

There are as many ways to digest this global pandemic, and the death of The Way Things Were, as there are people.

If words are pouring out of you, and your shelter-in-place time is offering room for creativity, enjoy it, follow it, savor it.

If you’ve lost your job, are still working in essential services, are caring for others in your family, or any other of a million scenarios, this might not feel like a time of creative output. You can let yourself off the hook. Just metabolizing the immense changes occurring every day is enough. Just surviving is okay. Just stay alive.

(If I hear "unprecedented" one more time, I'm gonna scream.)
