The year of 2020 has, most certainly, worn itself thin. It’s been tiring, grating, and, depressing. So much so that you have therapists basically holding sessions from sun-up to midnight. At times there seems to be no reprieve whichever way you turn. I’m still trying to have my […]
We are in the middle of September of a year that has either gone by too fast in that it barely existed or too slowly in that we are stick in a neverending morbid loop. Both perspectives are right. This year barely happened. Yet everything, or almost everything, […]
Living in New York City this past year has been an act of love, resistance and resilience. Plainly speaking, it has been hard. Day in and day out I walked to the clinic wondering how we would get to the other side. Sadly, for many others it didn’t […]
Stasis or movement? Energy. Kinetic energy. I’m obsessed with kinectic energy. That should have been my phrase for the year. Everywhere I look I think of that. That to me is 2020. Look at the world famous New York City subway system. It is open and moving and […]
