To the Editor:

It’s 5 a.m., and as I see the moon out my window, I am deeply reminded of rising early each morning after 9/11. Back then, I stared up at the moon and took comfort that at least the moon was doing what it was supposed to do.

Most of us living in New York City and elsewhere were terrified. We didn’t know what would happen next. This pandemic is triggering many of those same feelings.
