Letter from Manhattan
This morning, bells chime for Sunday service at the church inconspicuously tucked between beige, brick, post-war apartment towers around the corner from mine. I’ve thrown my window open to let in the cool city air after a week of sheltering in place. The bells surely ring every Sunday, but they normally blur into the rushing urban soundscape. This morning, though, they call out over a quiet city and reassure us that we’re still a town, a community.
