Who we are

The strangest, perhaps saddest, and sometimes best, thing about this pandemic is how it brings out parts of us we generally do not reveal to most other people.

It is like an archeological dig into people's psyches.

Fear and frustration appear at levels heretofore unimagined.

The desire to strike out at whatever is closest appears with alarming regularity.

Empathy and kindness disappear from some and rise to the top with others.

Sifting through the debris that is dribbled out in amazing quantities from our so called leaders confuses everything.

It is difficult to figure out what will be historically useful and what is simply catastrophically representative of who we are.
