COVID MUSING By Beth Haist

In the year of our covid-19, zeitgeist of fear, death our tell-tales hearts kept beating and somehow we found this undercurrent of a little hope and joy…you said comedy is tradegy + time …UNmute yourself you said bits & pieces in this dinner party atmosphere but with joy of sharing, of meeting again of somehow recognizing the good beyond the masks…

For it was visceral and powerful..shot in the stratosphere kind of thing but I’m bit of a live wire …I listen, I absorb …and when us peacocks strut in with pride or even well-rehearsed assurance- it is because all of us of somehow transmuted our pain into beauty.

OH …you mentioned Hellos and goodbyes …In all my hellos I learned some sort of lesson and in all my goodbyes or deep losses was also growth but what came with Goodbyes was almost more powerful than hellos…
