And then it was over.
I went out this morning and stood in the driveway of my studio. The sun was just putting light over the horizon through the trees. The sky was filled with colors, both beautiful and ominous. The first thing that came to mind was the sky in Gone With the Wind.
And that seemed about right.
I stood there taking it in and a thought kept running through my mind: This is who we are now.
It was a statement. There was no question in it.
This is who we are now.
It’s going to take time to wrestle with this, to find a rationale that makes any sense, one that allows me to feel any sense of communion with this new definition of who we are. Maybe this who we always were, and I am at fault for not recognizing it.
For now, I stand in the semi-darkness with that sentence running through my mind. This is who we are now.
And I feel like a stranger in a strange land…
