I relate to every word of this, and your thoughts bolster my determination to hold onto this cloistered life, even as it becomes safer to venture out. It feels like The World is already digging claws into my front door, claws of friendly invites I'm simply not ready to accept. How to stay quiet and tucked in, but still loving and kind and responsive to others? There must be a way, and your rainbow two-seater table seems like the symbol for this way of life ... open but smaller?

I'd like to think that even in our excitement to get back out there in the world, that we will emerge slowly, adding on to our plate bits and pieces, and not all at once. I would be overwhelmed easily, I think, and hope I can hold on to some of this quiet and slower pacing. (I mean, somehow it's also fast paced, but differently. Lots to do, but not running around town to do it.)
