Happy Holiday in a Zoom world

Such a strange time to be alive in the world.

After class tonight, partially on Zoom, I thought

about how much we long to get out of these

computer boxes, and to see one another.  The

urge is overwhelming, and yet where it's

happening too fast things are rolling back,

and restrictions are increasing.

In any summer before COVID, I would be with

friends or family on this holiday. We would be

travelling to see my brother.  But none of that makes 

sense.  So on the upside, we can see one another in the

lense of a computer, or phone camera.  My

drawing is about how this doesn't tell the

whole story.  I miss my sister.  It was a 

friend's birthday today.  I miss my brother. I miss

my children.

Happy holiday.
