    cam, my heart lit up when you mentioned palestine. its so difficult to grow into new experiences and reminisce about our home and family life without feeling the heavy weight that this has been stripped from the palestinians. sending you so much love ❣

      Sending you so much love. It’s heartbreaking how much has been stripped away from Palestinians, along with those in the Congo, Sudan and many other places I am unaware of. Lands and lives once filled with beauty and abundance have been pillaged and degraded repetitively without much respite for years and years and years. The heaviness is so palpable, but it mustn’t sink as far as despair. I love this excerpt from Maya Angelou’s poem ‘Still I Rise’
      Out of the huts of history’s shame
      I rise
      Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
      I rise
      I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
      Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
      I am holding hope within me for a collective rising. On that note, also listen to Ibeyi’s songs “Rise Above”. Sending love x

    8:00 Speaking of clouds, there is actually a Native American tribe that has preserved double digit different names for various clouds. They were also able to predict the weather days ahead of time by this practice and cultural science.

    Hi, my name is Diana, I'm from Ukraine. I love your videos madly, they add a little peace and exoticism to my life. It is very unusual to see how people on the other side of the earth dress warmly, but we have +30 on the street (this is not even enough, usually we have +60). I completely forgot that in some countries, June, July and August are the winter months :). Thanks for your videos, good luck to you and dress warmer, sunshine!

    The privilege of coming back to place of childhood memories is so real… I understood it only as for me, ukrainian, Russian full invasion started, but before that i never thought of that, despite the fact that a lot of war were happening in the world. i really started fancy and respect you even more because you recognise your privilege before it got taken away from you…
