We have all been experiencing the pandemic in different ways. But now that our part of the world is beginning to reopen, we are noting that we want to pause and reflect before being caught up in the current of our lives. We have had an opportunity to examine and evaluate our values relating to racial justice, the environment, the need for spiritual retreat and recovery, among other things. We are planning to be more deliberate in our decisions going forward. And we hope this show gives you a space for reflection, similar to the space that can be found on a long walk along the beach.
