As we traveled to record an episode of the Cupboard, we listened to our Prime Minister advise that "If you can stay home, stay home". So maybe we won't be gathering for some time. At least not in person.

 

We are in the midst of, at the beginning of, the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic.

 

Already we are used to the terms, "social distancing", "self-isolating", "flatten the curve".

 

On March 16, 2020 we talk about how we are feeling, how so many are feeling.  If hope is real, we will long to know hope even in uncertain times. We will know hope, even in uncertain times.

 

Best to you and to those you love as you live through this crisis. It's a time like we've never lived before. And as so many are saying, "we're all in this together".
