16 Apr What normal will we return to?

What is normal?

If normal is a regular or typical state, what state do we want to return to now that we know what is and is not possible?

• Achieving a new version of life/work integration or understanding our  work-life-equation?
• Being treated as responsible adults by our team management?
• Understanding how we can leverage newer technologies for work and home?

• Knowing now that we cannot juggle toddlers or cats, and screen meetings?
• If we are enjoying home-cooked meals with family most nights?
• Realizing what our commute costs in time and energy?
• Recognizing how much flexibility we have within us?
• Now that we have re-established what we can live with, and what we cannot live without?

• Now that we have seen dolphins in the Venetian canals?
• And the Himalayas peaks?
• Clean air in major cities?
• Stars at night?
• And we can hear birds in the morning?

• If we or our loved ones are in isolation suffering from Covid-19?
• And we know that first responders are working without healthcare coverage or PPE?

Bottom line, now that we have seen what is possible, what are we willing to accept as normal – in our homes, our work, our families, nature or in our societies?

What kind of normal are we willing to return to?
