Resilience
Date
April 2020
Description
"I wrote the following piece as a member of the Goodman Theatre GeNarrations program. This program invites elders to write and perform personal stories in conversation with a theme from a current play. Because the theatre is dark, the Spring theme was stories of solitude. As a gregarious person raised in a large family, who later worked in the social services sector—by definition loaded with people— and raising my children as a single parent, I have enjoyed the blessing of many friends and family. But I have had little solitude in my life. None of the writing prompts resonated with me. So I wrote about my experience and an incident that helped me put the early weeks of the pandemic in perspective."
