Harriet Bernstein â sheltering (and dancing) in place in West Tisbury
Harriet Bernstein took to Zoom to keep moving and keep connected.
It started out as a month of Sundays. Kind of a treat. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to be. Iâd been a bit further into my social self before the pandemic, looking to buy an eyeliner rather than wistfully collecting driftwood and shells. This sudden change was a good correction. It was like Sundays of my youth, when all stores were closed, people went to church, and slow was the message.
