Aside from seeing my roommate (who is leaving to go to her parents' place for a few days), I have not been in normal contact or conversation with anyone outside of virtual chats, Zoom calls, or FaceTime.
One thing I have done regularly, though, is go outside for either a run or a walk (or two) every day. And on these excursions, without fail to this point, I have encountered a friend - one from ACE, one from my church Sunday night prayer group, and one parent from my previous school. And let me tell you - those short encounters have been true moments of grace from God.
Each interaction was brief.
No hugs were given.
But real conversation happened; we were present in that moment.
And it was wonderful.
In this time of uncertainty and isolation, I find consolation in these moments.
And I find grace in a time of COVID-19.
