Practicing Social Distancing
As we continue to cope with COVID-19 these words spoken by Pope Francis are full of hope.
"Tonight before falling asleep think about when we will return to the street. When we hug again, when all the shopping together will seem like a party. Let's think about when the coffees will return to the bar, the small talk, the photos close to each other. We think about when it will be all a memory but normalcy will seem an unexpected and beautiful gift. We will love everything that has so far seemed futile to us. Every second will be precious. Swims at the sea, the sun until late, sunsets, toasts, laughter. We will go back to laughing together. Strength and courage."
The tranquil photo with this post is of the floating stage several years ago in Bemus Point prior to the start of another great Pops concert season. The only man in the photo sitting in a chair enjoying the view as the sun was setting is a man name Gus. Gus worked for the Pops and for the Italian Fisherman. His first name was not Gus though his last name was Gustafson so everybody knew him simply as .. Gus.
I captured this Pops moment of Gus relaxing on a chair during a Sunday afternoon concert. Gus was a behind-the-scenes type of guy, a man of few words though we all knew he was the one who really kept the Bemus Bay Pops running, smoothly. Thanks Gus.
