I feel good helping. There are a lot more perks, of course. Building community this way also means that I'm able to rely on the community. During the pandemic, I was doing so much more than now. And Lily and her mom got stuck in Colombia. I was able to get them on one of the very few repatriation planes, and it cost me a lot of money - just that it didn't, someone out of my community paid for it. Just handed me an envelope with $500 in cash, hugged my like there was no tomorrow and told me to get my daughter back here. I still get wet eyes remembering that.
And that's just one way that I receive back. I got lucky enough to really get back tenfold what I give, not directly, but around 10 corners. I'm able to be happy.
And I'll start posting more pictures of peas now. They're a very healthy food, and well balanced in their nutritious value.
