"...I came to understand how folly, mistake, calamitous hubris, neglect, and plain stupidity—could all be weapons in an arsenal to rewild and reforest the Earth, a future waiting in places we mistakenly believe we have irredeemably scarred."

They really are. My sister gets them and they are so awful and strange. I'm really glad you're feeling better.

It really is!

Oh, I hope it works!!
