Since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, I’ve been back and forth between angst and apprehension and immense gratitude for the many blessings in my life. My family is safe, our community is sound and our challenges have been minor in relation to those of many others. I have never been more aware of the many privileges I enjoy.
At the same time I feel the weight of existential threats to our society, our democracy, even to our planet, and I’m saddened and frustrated by my inadequate response to these them.
