Both our leading and coincident economic indicators are at their highest levels since last spring. The question was never whether there would be a turn, after all, but when it would appear.
What makes us human is not our artworks, our symphonies, our cities, or our spacecraft, but what spurs them on, from creative aspiration to celestial ambition. It’s the insatiable yearning embodied in the courage of hope—the greatest enterprise embedded in the human condition. I cannot say what tomorrow will bring. Or, for that matter, that tomorrow will even come, or if it will bear any semblance to today. Yet you and I, and innumerable members of humanity both familiar and farflung, will show up and find out: come hell, high water, salvation, or pathogens.
