It saddens me that, due to the novel Coronavirus, I will have to spend this Earth Day indoors. I can’t go to a festival, I can’t commute to the Boston Public Garden, I can’t even sit on my porch without worrying whether the air around me is toxic. As the weather warms I find myself looking out at the world from my bedroom window, admiring the beauty of spring from a safe distance.
