God wants to bring us out of our wilderness and isolation better. It may be that in isolation we learn how to be in community.
God wants us to be clearer on the other side of “stay in place” that it is not rugged individualism that is the key to life and love and liberation; it is not me, myself and mine that makes the world work, but rather understanding how our individuality is a part of the whole.
How we care for one another impacts how we are cared for ourselves.
