“For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first.” ― Immanuel Kant This morning I got my Covid vaccine at the Javits Convention Center in New York City (where I just moved last week). It was gloomy out and raining and the doors to the center were open with all variety of military and convention staff giving specific directions about where to go, and which first of many lines we would wait in before our appointment.
I dropped a friend off at the Javits Center this morning to get her vaccine probably about the same time you were there. (I’d received my vaccinations back in March). Your description matches my friend’s experience. It’s a beautiful thing to see us pull ourselves out from a disaster through science and cooperative effort.
Wish you would do more newsletters. Maybe that's rude. Not sure. Substack could just be a place for a gifted writer to vent. Don't know. I do know words matter and yours are amazing. A good friend and song writer told me a long time ago: when that wave comes, ride it.
The line of hope

Happy that you are moved in - at least enough to be writing. Beautiful article.
