• I still can’t shake hands or hug anyone.
• There are more distractions in my home (cat noises, traffic outside, downstairs TV)
• Technical glitches disrupt our worship process.
• Unfortunately I am very aware that while looking at Zoom, I can also look up stuff online!  Temptation!

 But there seem to be many positive aspects:

• My chair is comfortable.
• I get to meet some people’s pets.
• I can blow my nose off camera!
• I have a glimpse inside Friends’ homes.
• I can drink coffee during worship (not sure if that’s a plus or not).
• Many people from far away can join us.
• I can use the restroom without disturbing anyone, and there are (presumably) enough restrooms free to accommodate all of us.
• I continue to experience the sense of shared community and the presence of Spirit. 
• I feel profound growth in my feelings of love for each of us individually and as a Meeting.
