Lovely - but sadly always a dark side sits in readiness... I was reminded of Vandana Shiva’s wonderful work in India and beyond. It really is worth looking at her autobiography to see what can happen in these beautiful communities if we are not watchful - ‘My Life in a Biodiversity of Movements’ is both tragic and full of hope - but also a warning...

This an honest serenade to the beauty of realities that are vastly different than ours and yet intertwined with our shared sense of humanity. Thank you for writing this. What a delightful read!
