The coming storm…

It has been a year of loss and as the doors begin to open, it will be the opening of more than just the physical locations…

How will our hearts grapple with the pain?

Who will we be remembering?

What did we give up?

What did we let go?

We must prepare for the coming storm, like the changing seasons, the winds will come, the rains will pour, our hearts will endure a pain that defies solace…

We must find each other again, feel again, hold again. Indeed we must find empathy again.

We will find our way through the storm, as long as we do it,

Together.
