After earlier sad news, I want to share joy.
One of these photos is of cows being herded home from day-grazing. 💛🐄
The other is of an adult holding his mother's hand on the street: a *ridiculously* common sight here, because family is treasured. The pejorative idea of being a "momma's boy" *does not exist* - & Colombians feel sad for North Americans when I explain the context for our term.
There is joy in being part of a family, found, fur, or otherwise.
I wish nothing less for all of you.
It hit me *hard* when I first came here, how many different ways to live there are. I grieved a great deal for how much of a mess we've made in so many systems, while just assuming that they couldn't be otherwise - or else they would be by now.
We could build such a better world, eh, kopeng mi?
And maybe we still will. 🤞

Aye, kopeng. 💜
We will.
