THANKSGIVING
The Isolation Blues;
reflections during covid-19
Here is a photo I took earlier this morning of the icy Meduxnekeag on the day before Thanksgiving. This shot is taken looking upstream as you can see the oxbow taking an extreme bend to the right…Likewise, 2020 has been a year of unanticipated twists and turns and all you can really do is float along with developments as you go. I think Thanksgiving will reflect that this year as we have gained new appreciation for those who are dear to us and for all those who are just trying to get by. The coronavirus experience has been a great equalizer; no one is left unaffected by its impact. As we enter perhaps the most challenging phase of the pandemic we will need each other even more to get through this. Even as we have self-isolated as a means to insure personal and public safety we have also realized the value and necessity of community. We are in this together.
Have a good Thanksgiving everyone!
In the woods,
Dave
