“Boredom is what you fight. Constant, ever-present boredom. So you learn to look forward to small things. Sunlight glimpsed through a cloud, an extra piece of pie or candy, good thread to sew your blouse, a ribbon to wear in your hair.” – Valerie Wilson Wesley.
The community at Renaissance was a ray of sunlight during the peak of the pandemic when all of us were tired, stressed, bored, and feeling things that couldn’t be put into words. With so much negativity and fear surrounding us, it became easy to be consumed by everything bad and forget about the good. Places like Renaissance reopen one’s eyes to the good while still recognizing the bad, and bringing to light the little things in life that we may forget to appreciate.
