Your writing is like a censer puffing mystic beauty as it gently swings at the core of the smoking, choking fumes of the world.

I’m finally in a place where I can subscribe to things ❤️

Thank you for such nice words and metaphors. And th hermit crabs! Yes, i wish we could all come together, sacrifice our brittle sanctuaries and mix it up. Time for a revolution driven by an acknowledgement of individual vulnerability and collective resourcing.
