Yes, that was such a strange time! A potent blend of anxiety and relief. It's strange to say, but there are some things I dearly miss about that terrible and weirdly wonderful year.
Oh my gosh, I love this piece. Your way of showing, how dearly we need to rethink what it means to have villages is, as the other reader said, raw and beautiful. I’m so glad you shared this.
And I’m glad we were able to meet in person, perhaps, a folding of each other into our respective villages.
Wow, Kerala. This is really powerful. Thank you for writing these words and sharing them here. Love reading your posts!
Thank you Anna! Really enjoy reading your posts and learning more about your fascinating work!

Thanks for reading, and so glad we were able to meet up in person, too! We're building our Substack village!
