Day 85 - Beach

A pretty day at the beach. It was sort of relaxing, but it was disquieting, too. Strange to be out in the world and on edge about avoiding people.  It would be easy to pretend that everything is okay.  But it’s not. 

As I was lying on the beach, I checked my work email and learned that I’ll be teaching remotely this fall. The disconnect between that enormous news and the carefree attitude of the people on the beach was difficult to process.
