The nice thing about going away, even for the short time
we spent on the road and in Ottawa and Gatineau, Chelsea,
and Wakefield, Quebec, is the change in perspective.
When you get home you’re different, and you have a clearer
idea of what’s missing. After teaching through Zoom, I’m
clear that what I miss is my friends. So today we social
distance visited my dear friends Suzanne and David, and
dropped off these pansy paintings to Suzanne, one of
my favourite collectors.
I don’t want to think about what we’ll do when the cold weather
comes. For now we could sit far away on their lovely porch
overlooking a beautiful garden. So wonderful. Everyone is a bit
sad. We all want to hug, and can’t. But we’re alive, enjoying each other,
and after this long, lonely time — that’s magic.
