Lessons learned:
-spirits are everywhere. We walk on them. They walk with us.
-life and death are a cycle. Our parents bring us into the world. And in Leonie’s case, we bring our parents out of the world.
-The nonsense babbling of children is most often not nonsense at all. They deserve more credit than we give them. They are wise beyond words. They have not been brainwashed by our collective imagination yet.
-ghosts can both comfort and disturb us.
-The intergenerational trauma held in the bodies of Black people runs deep.
-I was reminded yet again to be slow and pay attention to all the spirits of life that surround me
