A year from now I hope America is healthy in our individual bodies and in our body politic . A year from now I hope America is stable emotionally, psychologically and spiritually both individually and collectively. A year from now I hope we can breathe openly and safely free from the fiery haze and and climactic wrath we have wrought and free of the virus that is gnawing away at us bit by bit. A year from now I want the school yard of middle schoolers down the street from my house to be a noisy mess of kids jostling for balls and space and jump ropes. A year from now I want my work from home desk to be gathering dust, my local coffee shop to be back in business and all the joy and spontaneity that comprises human interaction to be present. A year from now I want to hug. Anyone and everyone.
