Compass
Where do you feel rooted? After the passing of my father, I'm the only person in my family living on this hemisphere (my parents immigrated). I have no children and no life partner. After closing up my childhood home, I now own boxes of photos of relatives I don't know, all from the "old world." What do I do with them? I'm curious to talk to people who don't have the traditional template of family, are estranged, or are otherwise feeling disconnected from their place on the planet. In my garden, we'll share ideas of home, family, security, and belonging.
