How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

One thing I can say about the pandemic is that it has brought us closer to nature. And sometimes closer to long lost friends. Today I met with my high school best friend from over 20 years ago. The only thing we could safely do was go for a picnic and a walk. That was just what both of us needed. We reconnected with each other and were grounded by the serene lake. The trees and rock and birds were oblivious to our problems, stress, and anxiety. And so for a little while we escaped them too.
