The COVID-19 pandemic had us all sheltering at home, and with all that shelter comes time to reflect, and with all that reflection comes truth.
From that truth, if we are lucky, comes poetry.
Before the Distance visits what we miss, our longing for whatever normal once was.
It also visits our fears and helps us conquer them.
And yes, among our longing and fears there is optimism and hope that all the missing will be for good.
For good: that would be good, maybe even.
