We would love to hear how Dignity communities are staying connected and supporting their members during the Covid 19 crisis. Here’s one example your group might want to consider. Dignity/Boston hosts occasional on-line socials, and themed the last one around Haiku. Participants were challenged to write one or two of these three-line poems, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the last. Each poem was read aloud twice by the author(s), who could explain the poem if they wanted to. It led to a rich evening! Here are a couple examples of the community’s artistry: Politics? Science! ¿Dónde está mi muerte? WEmerge from darkness.
