As we start this new year, I suspect we are all full of expectations for 2021. Full of hopes for our friends and family, of resolutions to help make this a better, more just, world, but also maybe a little bit tired of hiding behind a mask!
Given that the political and Covid-19 pandemics are not exactly over, this new year will need our collective vision and hard work to bring it forward. We cannot come out of a global pandemic and economic shut-down without thinking that hard work is ahead of us, for all of us. The virus has shown us how intricately involved our (political, environmental, social, and economical) lives are here and across the globe. We will need to rebuild community networks—they are the basis for trust across boundaries, as well as, economic integration. This will not happen by chance or by luck, but by plowing ahead with grit and heart. It will be a year full of resolution, compassion, and endurance.
To this end, the Gallery plans for art and environment exhibitions with associated workshops (via Zoom) are underway and the co-location of local-brewery Kraemer & Kin (with great food) at GreenTARA will continue.
I send heartfelt thanks to all of you and much joy as we begin to care for all sentient beings, as well as ourselves, in this new year.
