Even as the world continues to be rocked by new COVID-19 variants, everyday life is slowly returning to normal. The crazy stockpiling of groceries and the stay at home mandates seemed to have occurred a lifetime ago, revealing how quickly we have moved on. We muddle through the uncertainty, but by moving on too quickly, we slip back into old ways. By taking our everyday freedoms for granted, we overlook the opportunity to forge new paths. To linger in the suffering evoked by uncertainty, however, is to harness the power of change to craft a more timeless and expansive path.
