Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

I wrote it through so much overwhelm and grief. But also in deeper sensitivity to intimacies with land and the dead, how we all touch. I hope it's as meaningful to others as it is to me.
