Lightning woke me up three mornings this week & thunder followed like it was reaffirming the world's decision to carry on for another day. It is what got me out of my bed and into my life and my living. This time of staying is not a time of resting. Thank you for the reminder that we are all going to be tired.

Thank you for your beautiful candor, across the whole emotional range as this strange, strange week draws to a close. So many of us are feeling what you've so incisively named.

This is very touching, and very relatable, and I appreciate you taking the time to share.

Thank you for this. Some hours are easier than others and it feels good to read that honesty and also the reminder that (in my case) washing my hair today was a good decision. Next stop: outside for a walk with the dog.

This is so brilliant, a balm on my cracked heart.

That is stated very well. Thank you! I am feeling out of sorts, as well. I am having difficulty processing what is going on.

This made me weep. Although I initially experienced empathetic fear while reading it, this newsletter left me feeling full of joy. My chest has been tight for weeks now, not from the dreaded, but from worry and loneliness. This newsletter post reminded me that although we are at the moment, we are alone in our houses, we are in this together. I have a zoom meeting soon, and they will see me with dirty hair. But after that, I will take a long bath and put together my best look before I walk down the road to the mailbox.
