    Let your mind wander. It might bring back souvenirs.

    Our neighborhood is more connected now than it’s been in a long time. People are taking daily strolls and talking to each other from across the street.

    Lots more attention being given to yards and balcony flower arrangements. Maybe even some _someday I’m gonna paint that room and . . .) projects. Maybe even more attention given to those closest to us. A few more hugs, a joke or two, board games, some more hugs, and so on. Can’t hurt and might make all the difference in the future.

    In the meantime, he’ll have one more for the road.

    And his amazing disappearing, reappearing garden walkway.

    A friend recently sent me this:

    When you go out and see the empty streets, the empty stadiums, the empty train platforms, don’t say to yourself, “It looks like the end of the world.” What you’re seeing is love in action. What you’re seeing in that negative space, is how much we do care for each other, for our grandparents, for the immuno-compromised brothers and sisters, for people we will never meet.

    People will lose jobs over this. Some will lose their businesses. And some will lose their lives. All the more reason to take a moment, when you’re out on a walk, or on your way to the store, or just watching the news, to look into all the emptiness and marvel at all that love.

    Let if fill and sustain you. It isn’t the end of the world. It is the most remarkable act of global solidarity that we may ever witness.

    He mentioned UPS and Downs but not the Postal Service.

    This feature is usually just full of giggles, but occasionally Thaves shows us his serious, philosophical side. Thank you for this.

    Quarantine made me realize why my dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks, and car rides.
