I am sitting on my balcony daybed wrapped in a cozy blanket as I write this, sipping on chai tea. With each sip, I close my eyes, drinking in the warmth of the spice, and the sun on my skin. A bird chirps nearby—a welcome interruption from distant tires rolling on the pavement. I bask in the sounds, fresh air, and sunshine.

Topic of Immunity may have never been as pertinent to the our modern times than the current pandemic. While governments are scrambling to dole out a vaccine that will bypass all safety standards, libertarian groups are calling this all a hoax and screaming deeper conspiracy. Where does one find sanity and security? The deaths around us are real.

We are in the final quarter of 2020, and at many stages of this year, it has felt as though finding calm is a revolutionary act. With recent world affairs bringing us together globally, there’s also been profound polarization felt across the earth. We’ve witnessed circumstances that have incited fear, tension, and vulnerability. We’ve felt the ache of worrying for our loved ones.
