“Our life now seems surreal. We can’t even imagine being close together or shaking hands. We can’t think about traveling without wearing a mask and gloves. We are not sure when everything will be normal, or when we will be able to travel without fear. “ – Jashim Salam

“I wonder if in a post-Covid19 world, if we would be so bold to embrace the arms of a stranger and sway together, sharing our breath by singing in unison — the close moments when our shared tapestry of different cultures, languages and skin tones are molded into a special kinship.” – Jeremy Wallace
