For Portland Oregonians, March 2020 changed all of our lives forever . . . my daily contemplative walks along the Willamette waterfront took on new meaning. The view from my glass half-full sees all the beauty in this unprecedented time. Family togetherness, home cooked meals around the dinner table, people walking and riding bikes instead of flying and driving in cars. Who says we can’t redefine the norm based on our learnings. Shorter work weeks, more flexible work from home, equitable pay for “front liners”, social healthcare policies, quiet time to look within and reflect and a unified society with a desire for peace, love and joy!
