this is a mood- created to envelop oneself as an act of self-care. Made for times in life where one is in a rut, unclear next direction, or why to even bother.
I am not in one of those times in my life right now so it didn’t wrap me up as much as it could have, I suspect. This was created during the earlier pandemic days and would have likely been a very comforting to read a few years ago and definitely in early 20’s too. I think it should be added to the canon of important NA /coming-of-age books - like a utopian SF Siddartha-lite . (?)
I continue to love the worlds Becky Chambers continued to create and to me that was most inspiring and inventive aspects. Has me dreaming about small greywater systems and universal compost toilets.
