Proximity

Is social distancing a misnomer? During the COVID-19 crisis, physical distancing is imperative. But the truth is, we need social proximity more than ever. We need to be reaching out to others, through calls, video-chats, texts, email, or a wave and smile from across the street. A break from the hustle and bustle of city life, or the stresses of the office, and spending more time with family has its own benefits. But our nature is to be social. So at a time when many feel isolated, lonely and sacred, let’s make an extra effort to forge human connections.
