thanks for this. i'm finally catching up on reading your substack after a few months of being more off grid and without media much, and it was nice to see pop up this morning while I was cutting into olives i gathered in phoenix last month, for curing.
Fantastic writing you deserve a wider readership here, I shared some quotes from your post, I hope some more people drop by.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young
I know it's heavy
I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?
If I die in the month of May
Let the wind take my body away
I wish I may, I wish I might
Don't leave my body down there with my arms folded tight.
(Arcade Fire, The Suburbs album, track 10)
I love this song. Powerful.
I spent 6 weeks in Thailand last year, met some of the most awesome, happiest people. I felt very humbled about my own problems when I visited

It’s not enough to be sad. We have to be happy too :)
