I find in the New Era I really miss this simple practice.

I still go out to walk the dog, hike, and bicycle, but it's not really the same.
COVID-19 and introverts report:

Two days ago I went to the iris garden of my friends. They have 700 iris cultivars. We walked around outside and kept our distance but had spirited conversations about Iris.


This infusion of human contact got me so jazzed up, I could not get to sleep until 3 o’clock in the morning.

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, I’m still pondering it.
