First, a story. It was August, 1977. Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman co-wrote the Oscar winning screenplay for the hit movie Annie Hall, and they were interviewed together by Susan Braudy of the New York Times. During the interview, Marshall stated, “I have learned one thing. As Woody says, ‘Showing up is 80 percent of life.’ Sometimes it’s easier to hide at home in bed. I’ve done both.” During this season where the world is figuring out how to navigate this pandemic, I can’t help but wonder how many of us are “hiding at home in bed” and how many are “showing up.” Don’t misunderstand me. Staying at home and not engaging with others in a crowd (no matter the size) is a smart and wise thing to do. But let me ask you this … are you socially distancing or are you physically distancing? At On the Road, we have made a choice to use the term physical distancing rather than social distancing. Why? Because we are still socializing, making connections and staying close with one another socially, while at the same time physically distancing from one another to keep ourselves and others safe. Yes, both of our Centers are open, and the witness of those members who are “showing up” in person can tell you that we’re exercising safe measures both physically and hygienically. AND, we also are open for connection via Zoom, Facebook, and telephone everyday. Take a peek at page 7 of this newsletter to see how 24 of us connected with one another for a grand time together. During these times, we understand that sometimes it’s easier to “hide at home in bed.” But if you get up, and “show up” you just might discover that LIFE awaits you when you purposely engage in it. As it pertains to our Peer Centers, you can show up in person, or virtually, or call us to simply chat. We have a favor to ask: Many of you have new phone numbers or have moved. Could you please call us and give us your new phone number so we can connect? We’re making calls every day and want to “show up” for you. Thank You!
