Interlude

Sanctuary: a place of safety or refuge. I like this word so much better than the others — shelter in place, social distancing, shut-in, isolation, hunkering down. Of course it comes from the root “sanctus” which means holy or sacred. It’s also related to “sacrifice.” So we can think of making a holy sacrifice when we choose to stay home to keep others well, lonely as it may be.
