Here’s one way to view the current situation in which we all find ourselves: Prior to the pandemic sweeping the nation and the world, our lives were such that each day truly was a new day, filled with new challenges and the possibility of new excitement, albeit to varying degrees. Today however, with most of us locked down in our homes, our daily routines have taken on a stunning same- ness that is bereft of any sense of the usual moments of joy that form the essence of our humanity. Similar to the classic Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day” from 1993 (wow, has it really been 27 years?), each day seems to be a repeat of the day before. The daily news in particular has a feeling of being in “Groundhog Day” mode. The headlines, politicians, and Guest Op-Ed talking heads basically tell us the same thing, day after day after day, to the point where most of us now are tuning it out. No Easter for America?
