Even though only two weeks have passed since New Year s Day, it feels much longer, given all that has happened. We re all contending with pandemic fatigue, even with vaccines on the horizon. We miss being with each other, we miss school, and on top of it all, we are haunted by the horrifying assault on the Capitol and continued threats to safety, to racial justice, and to our democracy.
I am hoping we can take the next few days ahead, with the commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. s life, and the inauguration of new leadership, to take a deep breath, remember Dr. King s words about our inescapable network of mutuality, and recommit ourselves to the well-being of our beloved community.
