Pandemic

Calculated Risk

March 6, 2021April 19, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 10 Comments

This post was originally published in March 2020, when we were still innocent, unscathed and unscarred, hopeful, confused, wary, and frightened. Comparing and contrasting from a year ago, what's changed since then? What do you think?

Round in Circles

January 26, 2021April 18, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 10 Comments

Here I go walking in circles again. If it's not one direction out my front door, it's the other, always in circles, round and round the neighborhood, looping past the same houses, same yards, same trees.

Looking Down

April 27, 2020April 25, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 2 Comments

I spent an afternoon purposefully looking down, taking in the things I take for granted in my neighborhood as I reel repeatedly, round and round. I suddenly noticed art on the ground, lines and patterns, color and texture, life at a different level. It's something new anyway, a novelty in my shrinking world.
