We ponder what we’ve gained after sustaining more personal-sized losses: financial, vocal, and gemological (yes, it’s a word; we looked it up)
No, it’s not about how much weight we’ve lost and gained over the years. That would take a novel.
It would take even more than a novel to elaborate on all the losses and gains we’ve experienced over the past year. Entire history texts will inevitably be written. They’ll include chapters about the loss of our freedom to travel, shop in stores, dine out, go to work, learn in classrooms, hug our loved ones, gather with friends and family. They’ll tell how we lost the ability to breathe freely, unencumbered by masks, in many settings. Most of all, they’ll describe our pain at the loss of precious lives.
