Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Arooooo!.....there are no orphans in a wolf pack.


    


There are so many touching posts on the "Go Outside and Howl at 8 PM" Facebook page. People are grieving everywhere and howling for lost children, lost parents, friends and family lost to Covid. One person posted that there are no orphans in a wolf pack.

We can howl for the HS and college seniors who won't have an actual graduation ceremony this year, for all the essential workers doing their jobs, and for everyone now out of work. The support and solidarity has blown my mind. There is at least one good thing coming out of all of this....the reminder that we are all in this together, even if sheltering at home alone.  


“For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”
