“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live."

There’s something about this little book that just hits. A delightful a moving read that I’ll definitely return to. Dex’s yearning for something unknown and unspecified really hit and was so relatable and the book made me yearn for a world and a way of living - together with, and part of nature - that I’ll never see except in this book. Also I wanna be a tea monk so bad!
