What I remember from a year ago today is working. I remember answering emails with the January 6th insurrection on in the background. I remember being horrified and distracted, but still working. Even more than that, I remember getting up the next morning and still going to work as if everything was normal. My boss, the world around me, everyone was speaking as if something significant had happened but acting as if nothing had. As we continue to struggle through a pandemic and “essential” workers are forced out into the open on the front lines maybe it’s time to consider what the world would look like if we were allowed to take a moment to actually think, to actually heal.
