Hey, stay tuned folks, it's Preet.

So last week I shared in this feed the weekly note I write for cafe insiders.

I heard from many of you who appreciated the audio version.

So here is this week's note.

As always I love to hear from you.

Write me at letters at cafe.com.

Dear listener, four weeks ago I did not even know the term social distancing, much less

what it meant to practice it.

And now I'm already fed up with it as I'm sure most of you are.

But my family and I will persist for as long as necessary because we put our faith in

the doctors and scientists who preach its effectiveness.

Some have pointed out that the term social distancing is a misnomer.

What we are really doing is physical distancing.

In this time of uncertainty and suffering, true social distancing would be the worst possible

prescription for our souls and psyches.

While we may have to hunker down in our homes and observe the six foot rule when in public,

we need social closeness more than ever.

It's challenging.

You can shelter in place with your nuclear family if you are part of one, but the concentric

circles of relationships beyond that core are more difficult to keep up.

And so we turn to our vilified electronic devices to connect us to friends and family

outside our bunker.
