This essay reflects the spirit of our times, at least in North America. Reentering a generative world in lockdown is juxtaposed with the gains and losses in our communities. "For All Eternity," my poem, is about the generative cycle of rebirth and death and the forces that move us from decay to regeneration. As the coronavirus pandemic paradoxically rages and abates, in our wisdom, may we heal from this protracted moment in history. May we remember the beloved who helped improve lives. Let us rejoice in the gift of being in community (again), welcoming all who are new to our communities, workplaces, and professions. Besides the demands of our work, before us stretch ever-unfolding challenges of justice. Striving to protect ourselves, loved ones, and societies from multiple pandemics, through courage we enact community-based action, disrupt racial and sexual violence, safeguard vulnerable groups, and protect the earth and every child. With radical love, we embrace humanity and protect freedom and relationships, and by wholeheartedly inhabiting our lives we create space for discomfort and change, hope and renewal. May we all find love, healing, and creativity as we experience what has been and what will be.
