I have been thinking a lot about detachment this week. In part, I think this is inspired by 14 months of having to let so many things go due to the pandemic and then feeling what it is like when they return. This past week was the first time we hosted a dinner for friends since March of 2020. I have been reconnecting with communities that I have not seen in over a year. I even attended a hockey game with over 15,000 vaccinated fans screaming at full volume. It is still fresh enough in my mind that I can remember how I used to take these things for granted, they were a normal part of my life. For this moment, they feel very special and I am savoring the newness of the experience of each one. I am still looking forward to my first movie in a theater (will the experience be exciting to experience a movie in a room of strangers, is the big screen, and should that much better?) And I cannot wait until my first time back in a theater to see a play or musical with live performers.
