Goodbye 2020,
I will keep a "reverential distance" from you
that allows me to thank what I learned,
that unites us with Wuhan, Italy
and without flights….
to the whole planet.

Welcome 2021,
that in its beginning brings us
the hope of the vaccine,
of the return
to our face-to-face life,
normal work,
of hugs,
without distancing
no masks.

That we do not forget what we have learned,
in the midst of presence:
the endearing brotherhood
with every human on the planet
(Buddhist, agnostic atheist,
jew, muslim, christian,
Hindu, shamanist,
rich-poor, asian,
European, African, Oceanic, Latin American or Anglo, etc.).

Happy New Year 2021 !!!

                                                                       David Quispe
