“No man is an island entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main…
any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
– John Dunne
May all of you and your loved ones be safe and well.
