. . . Take your trash — ehem, sorry, I meant *offerings* — with you instead of leaving them at special sites.
I’m in a truly liminal travel state for an extended period of time, and — as usual — the universe is offering me some lessons along the way. However, I’m not ready to talk about them yet, being in media res. Then, just a few days ago, a reader asked me what the heck I […]
