Hope Springs Eternal

"You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep Spring from coming."  
-  Pablo Neruda

In the eighth week of Chicago's Covid stay at home order, several mainstays of daily life have completely fallen by the wayside: Hairdryer usage, calorie counting, all interest in wardrobe planning, and even a hint of self-judgement for weekday alcohol consumption.

Against the backdrop of Springtime in this beautiful city, one thing has not: Hope.
