about

During the corona quarantine, I'm not leaving my home because my asthma puts me at risk if I am exposed. This song helped me work through missing my people - students, friends, family, all. BIG thanks to Tommy Pieper and everyone who participated in Friday night's Open Mic - creativity is healing, and I'm grateful for the space to share with community and hear what you've been creating. Stay calm, stay healthy, stay flexible, and stay CREATIVE! Love love love.

lyrics

I'm waking up slowly, there's nowhere to go
But I still fear I'm wasting time
And I know there's only so much I can scroll
Before I go out of my mind
So I'm staying busy right where I am
Here and now, where my two feet are under me
I won't try and control the things that I can't
While I wait for the days in front of me

If I check in on you, will you check in on me
Right now what's familiar feels right
At least I'm not alone in lacking company
Even if there's nobody in sight
Are we taking better care of ourselves?
Are we taking the time to reflect?
Are we leaving enough groceries on the shelves?
It's each other we're trying to protect

Can we build a stronger community?
What's it take besides patience, respect?
I don't know when the next time I see you will be
But thank G-d there's still ways to connect

I'll see you again
Before too long
