Thank you ReM! The garden used to be my escape from the harsh reality, but slowly it became my reality too. It's like a means of humbling down, giving you a teeny bit of enlightment to a slow and more meaningful life. The little harvests are still helpful, recently I harvested ginger rhizomes, we used it in teas and in our cooking, the rest were sold to the community.

I have to dream to leave this city someday and start living near nature, harvest from my own garden, and live a mindful life just the way you are doing. Your posts are a real inspiration to me.
Thanks for sharing.

Yay, good luck on it! Praying for it too!

Honestly, on my side, I'm pressured to finally go back to work already. I want to also, but time is just different now. With layoffs go in succession, it's even harder for us unemployed to go back.

What I ask for my parents (and relatives) is to also understand my situation and the circumstances of the world... it's not easy for me too. I am also doing my 100% even if they don't really see it.
