@Sam Guarnaccia and @Paula Guarnaccia. This may be of interest to you. Norah compares Covid-19 with the Black Death in 1666 in Thomas Berry’s writings and how it disrupted human thinking at the time. How is Covid-19 disrupting our thinking now. I particularly like Norah’s paragraph about how earth/universe sent so many disasters to wake us up.
