This is lovely, lovely writing and gives me a lot to think about. Thank you for this gift, Taishin! Thanks for walking like an elephant, and joining our NBZ field.
Thank you, Rentai, for welcoming me to the field! It’s a delight to sit with you and others in the mornings. I look forward to growing the connections. 🌻
