For thousands of years, religion has woven its way through societies and people as if it were part and parcel to that society or person. In large measure it was left unexplained and unchallenged, it simply existed. Those who attempted to challenge and expose religion were often persecuted, excommunicated, shunned, or even executed. It could be fatal to explain that which the church, priest or imam said was unexplainable. Before the germ, viral and parasite theory of disease, physicians had no tools to understand disease and its propagation.

In 2020, an invisible germ - a virus - wholly upended our lives. We're most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or Covid-19. But viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees. Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in deep caves miles underground.

Estamos tan conectados y, sin embargo, tan desesperadamente solos. Esta es la paradoja de nuestro tiempo: un mundo donde las pantallas dominan nuestras vidas, pero nuestros corazones duelen de vacío. Nuestra verdadera esencia a menudo está oculta en un mundo de notificaciones interminables, conversaciones virtuales y vidas seleccionadas en las redes sociales. Nos ponemos máscaras para el mundo, pero detrás de ellas, anhelamos libertad, conexión y propósito. Esta desconexión de nuestro yo auténtico nos saca de un estado de equilibrio natural y saludable.
