I admit that I’m not the most prolific writer. But even for me not having posted anything over the last few months is unusual. Honestly, I have just been unsure of what to write about during the pandemic. Adding to the pandemic, I was still trying to get my head around the Ahmaud Arbery shooting when the George Floyd murder happened. And of course, all hell broke loose after that. I just didn’t feel anything I would have written would have been particularly helpful during such a tumultuous time.
Some of my silence is because I have been trying to understand more about the racial divide in our country. I have been trying to learn and listen to voices of people who do not look like me. My silence is also due in part to the various emotions that I have felt. Like a lot of you I have dealt with depression, confusion, loss, and many other feelings during this difficult season. I didn’t feel like adding my voice to the discord that has been happening.
But it is time to write again.
