In the Walgreen's parking lot...
23 February 2020: This morning, sitting in what passes for traffic in Shepherdstown, I saw two people walk across the Walgreen's parking lot, with outstretched and open arms, meeting for an embrace. I don't know who they are, how well they know each other, how surprised they were to see each other, or anything about them really. All I know and all I will carry with me is that image. And, on a weekend when I've spent a lot of time alone and thinking, that's enough.
