This is such a special story - the first of many I hope, Benjamin.
The detail, and the "hostage-taking" reminded me of when I was a young girl tasked with watching the paddy dry on the mat outside our village home, shooing away the birds who would come for a free meal, keeping the cats from leaving their own tracks beside my grandmother's as she turned the rice over so it could all dry before being stored for the season.
I am tagging @sam knowlton, because tracking the story of the supply chain is a necessary part of resurrecting a love for the soil and everything it gives us.
Thanks for your kindness, Karena. I love it when stories attract more stories, and your experience is so so relatable. I'd definitely read if you ever write on it.
Glad you tagged, Sam. I'll look at his work and learn something. Everything is connected, and the supply chain is certainly not detached from the soil.

Stay awesome!
…you know this or at least i hope you do but it is incredibly cool that you can and do share these stories…
Thanks for always reminding me this! I'm always glad that I get to connect everyone else to this part of the world. It's amazing
