Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa popped in to speak to a Loyola Marymount University class earlier this year, offering up a story about the pandemic and his career.
When some people ask if he’s glad he’s not governor or mayor during the tumultuous period of the health crisis, Villaraigosa responds with a dirty look, he told the students, according to a video of the class.
“I say, ‘Obviously, you don’t know me,’” Villaraigosa said, sounding as feisty as when he would spar with reporters at City Hall news conferences. “Because if you did, you would know I want to be right in the middle of all of it.”

On the walls of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where I work, there is a print by artist Raymond Pettibon. It shows a swath of blue paint above the words, Yes, but alas, the blue sky has been repainted. By restoration, there is no telling how much you have lost.
I usually visit Pettibon s work after teaching rounds with the medical teams in the Intensive Care Unit. Alone after raw encounters with broken bodies and disrupted lives, I often seek out the reminder: restoration may not be enough.
Pettibon s work asks us not to accept the illusion of restoration to what was before. It calls on us not to lose lessons that emerge through adversity. It reminds us that sometimes, in the seemingly unimaginable, we find an invitation to imagine our way forward.
