The challenge in reconnecting


After so much isolation for so long, 
We find it hard to carve a path 
Through the defenses we were forced to erect 
And the ones that have grown up over time; 
The accretion of silence and solitude 
Which now make it doubly difficult 
To reach out and renew old friendships, 
Past connections, and familiar socializing. 
How might we do things differently, 
Carrying as we now do 
The awareness of our singularity?
