Nia, I listened to the podcast (while walking) and loved it! I'm grateful to you and Ed for putting it out there!

Lovely essay today! So many things struck me, but this one stands out on climate migration and where to live. As you so eloquently stated above that, we are all interconnected, so in some ways living in a 'good' place will only be temporary if the whole enchilada eventually falls apart. And thanks for the hand washing dynamics, it was hard to read, but sort of fun!

I'm listening to the podcast as I sit here and respond to this wonderful post. I also intend to get your book. I'm a reluctant walker these days as I'm struggling with a terribly arthritic left knee -- perhaps my mantra can be "hobble -- breathe -- hobble -- breathe."

Today's post was wonderful as usual. Thanks. Your reference to the paper about the fluid dynamics of hand-washing reminded me of a book I just finished. It's called Life's Edge: The Search For What It Means To Be Alive, it's by Carl Zimmer, and it's spectacular. You will never think about viruses or membranes or lipids or pond water or the cosmos the same way again.

I love the first pic and I love the walking composition philosophy. And I love that you are on M&P.

Thank you, Nia, for "Walk. Breathe. Walk. Breathe." It is always, always a good reminder. I look forward to listening to your and Ed's discussion!
