There’s too much transformation (pun intended) happening too quickly to track. But there’s one simple thing I can say, and for the moment, it’s this:

I don’t take my life for granted any more. Things like ‘I have legs’ are almost as exciting as when I was an infant. The fact that I can see with my eyes is really exciting.

When I eat food, I feel profoundly grateful… and I know it may not happen again.

When I see a stranger and we smile at each other, it’s like a little experience of enlightenment.

My friends are all still alive. The remnants of my family are still well. The streets are still open and walkable… I realize that the small graces of the vast luxury we have lived in… and still experience… are profound, rare, and are no longer dependable.

I don’t take »anything for granted anymore. And that’s some kind of grace.
