"So what then, if we turn towards the process of compost, and lean into the decay? What if we bear witness to death, and also marvel at the audacity of life? How might we be transformed in the process? What might we learn in the threshold of change?" These lines I felt in my body deeply. Everytime I eat anything fermented, especially kimchi, their gifts in the taste of decay bring me to closer reflection around these questions.
Gahhhh your writing is such a restorative balm.

Danbee, thank you for reading. Fermented foods are medicinal in so many ways, and the process of fermentation is such a wise teacher. Thank you.
