“And Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
So she was turned into a pillar of salt.

At the end of the year
I wept to find
My old umbilical cord.”

“To talk casually
About an iris flower
Is one of the pleasures
Of the wandering journey.”
― Matsuo Bashō, The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches

“It is hard to adapt to chaos, but it can be done. I am living proof of that: It can be done”
