The irony of social distancing and enforced solitude is how much it has reinforced the truth of our deep connection to each other and to the natural world. In this country we pride ourselves on our individualism, and on the material benefits of competition, which to a great extent depend on extractions from nature. For the last several weeks, in contrast, we have engaged in loving interactions with our grandchildren and dear friends, remotely but meaningfully. And we have taken long walks in natural settings where it almost seems as if plants now have the benefit of more fresh air and animals have been liberated from their previous sequestration.

Before Now and After
Before, we were kind to each other.
Now, we worry about each other.
After, will we still care for each other?
Before, we nodded in passing.
Now, we wave and mumble behind masks.
After, will we guard against any contact?
Before, we held the door open for the person behind us.
Now, it's each person to their self.
After, will we be polite again?
Before, people kept a friendly distance.
Now, we are "social" distancing.
After, will we be on our own?
Before, smiles, tears, grins, nods.
Now, masks, raised brows, blinking eyes, nods.
After, a friendly wave, kindness, a warm gesture, smiling nods.
