Lost in time
At some point between March and September of 2020, humanity lost track of time. We went from absolute dependence on systems of time generated by travel itineraries, the transport of goods, professional meetings, school classes, appointments, birthdays, and friendly dinners to a complete suspension time and of our agendas. While that suspension was accommodated by and perhaps even appreciated for those in a place of socioeconomic privilege, many did not have the luxury of losing track of time.
To enhance the sensorial monotony that ensued from this loss of time we increased our online socialization—an effort to emulate, in some way, in-person encounters. Though soon, rather than meeting new people or struggling to maintain relationships in crowded, inconsistent Zoom calls, we began to befriend the rhythms of the sunrise and neighboring birds.
