‘Tis the season . . .

when people stay in their homes

when immediate family are pulled close 

when people take more walks

when people read regularly and cook deliberately

when people look for ways to express their creativity in new or renewed ways

when people clear out clutter in their houses and within themselves

when people appreciate each deep breath

when people watch their (and others’) health

when we call people essential

‘Tis the season of COVID-19. ‘Tis an awful season, but in all its challenges there are some of the important lessons of Advent.
