From Darkness to Light: A Meditation on Receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine

Two elderly people wearing masks applaud inside while looking out of a window.
As we move from darkness to light
May we take this vaccine as a sign of what is to come
A world reopened and renewed 
Embracing family and friends 
Gathering together in joy 
May we also be mindful of what has been 
The lives lost
The sorrow felt
And may the past and present intertwine 
Giving us hope for the future
