Uncertain Times

These days it feels like nothing is  certain.  There is much information but there is not a consistent or predictable message.  Should I stay away from people or should I abandon my social distancing practice?  Should I wear a face covering or not? Will the economy get better or worse, and how soon will all that happen?

This mail art project is about the uncertainty of the moment.  In days past one could have reasonable expectations and could make plans based on those expectations.  None of that seems possible at this moment because it is not possible to have a reliable expectation about what the future may hold.

In this uncertain time, there is hope that this pandemic will come to an end and society and its institutions will return to some predictable norms.  Perhaps this mail art project can help remind us of that.  What makes today a good day?

    David, you summed up the uncertainty of our current times so well. There is so much confusion right now. What made today a great day was that It was a beautiful spring day with sunshine and the perfect temperature outside. We met our weekend neighbors and spent hours talking on their front porch, from a distance. They reminded me how blessed we are to live out in the country where we can enjoy God’s beautiful creations and a peaceful environment. I also received your mail art today! Thank you again for sharing your gifts and talents!
