Thank you, Amy. I wish I could be at church tomorrow. We evacuated mom on Tuesday. It is very safe here (except for the cat who ate big holes in my cashmere cardigan) but things seem even more surreal from a distance. A refugee’s life must be such a complicated mix of relief and regret. 🌷
Thank you for these updates, Amy. It matters, to be inside the experience. I'm praying for you all, that where so much has been riven -- grace in all manner of disguises will rush in mightier than the water and wind did.
"I wonder what it means to re-learn ancient languages. Who wouldn’t want to be able to navigate by the stars?" These lines make me think of Dougald Hine's book At Work in the Ruins and his project in the face of climate change, A School Called Home. You may already be familiar with him, but if not, this interview with him is a great introduction -- both challenging and grounding: https://www.theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2023/05/31/dougald-hine-on-climate-change-and-how-to-respond-to-a-bleak-looking-future
More thankful than I ever am for your steady voice, fierce spirit, and words that matter, dear friend.

So grateful for your perspective and updates, Amy. What it means to re-learn ancient languages—I'm fascinated by this.
Also: agree on Nobody Wants This. Loved the chemistry, was not feeling the ending.
thank you
