Shelter in Place

Walking through the neighborhood the sounds of children playing are absent, people out walking their dogs politely nod at the required "social distance." Finding solace in the hills and trees bursting with signs of spring and birds beginning to build nests in anticipation of new life. I believe there is a promise in these signs of spring that we will emerge from our cocoons of isolation, a little weary, but wiser in the knowledge that we are stronger than we thought and resilient.
