Much has happened.
I am in Bombay now and spending time at home with my mom. Is there anything as excruciating and exhiliratexh as family? There is a talk by Ernest Nightingale, The Strangest Secret, where he makes the point that the most precious things provided to us are free. The nation and families we are born in, for example. It struck me as interesting. That humanity actually devised institutions based on some natural tendencies of territory and biology to give us the benefit of an enduring sense of belonging. It may be a belonging we may not like or even tolerate the burden of, but we have it to give us a basic metric of sameness necessary for survival.
This much is good to acknowledge.
