ABSTRACT The global pandemic known as COVID-19 has brought most cities and counties to a slow dance of shelter-in-place and stay-at-home curfews. This is our first personally experienced civilization-wide transformation. Nothing will return to how we knew it. The complexity of this moment—the full vitality of the unknown—is an essential feature of transformation and demands an ongoing process of moving underneath the experience of the unknown to generate right action. In this article, we will write from our own experience of COVID-19 and the rupture of civil unrest in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. We believe that the global pandemic, and the potential of this moment in America to overcome and defeat racial disparity, suggests a space for the forging of deeper stories—stories that peel back the felt sense and fullness of a present unfolding experience. We will discuss living through these experiences as the basis for exploring the potential for the transformation of sense-making that may generate a multiplicity of new learning and new action.

了解COVID-19大流行的经验，因为美国公民社会的破裂为采取正确的行动创造了条件

摘要被称为COVID-19的全球大流行病已使大多数城市和县区的临时庇护所和在家中宵禁的人慢慢跳舞。这是我们第一次亲身经历的全文明转型。什么也不会回到我们所知道的。此刻的复杂性-未知数的全部生命力-是转型的基本特征，并要求在未知数经验的基础上不断发展以产生正确的行动。在本文中，我们将根据自己对COVID-19的经历以及乔治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd），布蕾娜·泰勒（Breonna Taylor）和艾哈迈德·阿伯里（Ahmaud Arbery）被谋杀后的内乱破裂来撰写。我们认为，全球流行病以及这一刻在美国克服和消除种族差异的潜力，暗示了形成更深层次故事的空间，这些故事使当前展开的体验的感觉和饱满感回落。我们将通过这些经验来讨论生活，以此作为探索可能转变为新的学习方式和新行动的意义转变的基础。
