End of 2020

Today is the last day of 2020. You may be cheering for that. Or you may be mourning for all the loss that happened this year. Or maybe both.

Be careful though, just because we turn the calendar does not mean that everything stops and something new starts. The plague went on for many years. Both world wars raged on for multiple years.

We’ve gotten so used to things happening in short spaces of time that we put ourselves in danger when we expect that everything else also lives in those time frames. They don’t.
