I had the most apocalyptic dream a week ago. I was standing on a street at night in a crowd of people and someone started saying the Pledge. I thought, "oh, shit. Here we go." I moved through the crowd and kneeled at the edge facing out on the street. There were people on either side of me also kneeling and we were waiting for whatever was coming. I'd stashed LB someplace safe, but as I looked up, I saw kids and realized she was out there with us. "Who brought the kids, they aren't supposed to be here!" Then there was just chaos.
I've been reading a lot of books about occupied Europe. The Pandemic has made me understand better how boring it is to live through a crisis. How much you operate without the information you need. The books have given me more sympathy for the people who do nothing in the face of evil. We are all just trying to get through, and even your biggest sacrifice can be the tiniest and most invisible fluttering of a moth's wing. Right now, it's just the waiting and hoping I'm ready and we are all ready.
