Just getting back to Substack after some time away, and so happy to read this article, Elena! It made me laugh and tear up, in the best way. Thanks for the beautiful reminder to be attentive to the joy. It reminds me a bit of Peter Kingsley’s “A Book of Life” and his meditation on home… something to the effect of, where you discover the feeling of home might take you by surprise. (A comment on the place-ness of cultural traditions.) I’d love to read your take on migration and land in the context of hunter gatherers! Thanks, again!

Nice to hear a positive spin on it all. And to remind us to live in the moment so we don't mis the joys.
