I went to a party this evening. How long has it been…yah yah, you know. For me, this was a notable Return to Normal Life in this Covid world. We sat on the patio, and my seat was by this lovely water feature. Beautiful evening. [Book club: Robin Wall Kimmerer’s 2013 essay collection Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. Highly recommended.
