Beth, that was so lovely. And, it immediately reminded me of another favorite poem by Naomi Shihab Nye— The Traveling Onion:

Oh, humble onions and wise women’s voices…

how much you keep giving. We are, all of us, grateful. ❤️

You know, this was a written piece not an audio piece and as we're still unpacking things here in our new place at substack, I had sort of forgotten that you could listen that way on here. I'll fiddle with the settings to see if we can get our AI to sound a little more like us.
