Thank you for this beautiful reflection of your family, and through that, maybe a glimpse of the whole family of Burma/Myanmar. I could feel those solid temple walls keeping them (and hence you, in the future) safe from harm. I hope that they can still keep your hopes, and those of the people, safe in expectation of better times to come.

Also, thanks for your reflections on COP (and quotes from some good friends of mine!). It's good to see these acknowledgements of the importance of food and farming. But as your other two Pickings remind us, there are definitely those who can slow progress, or throw sand in the eyes of the people and politicians who make the decisions, sadly. Progress is so painfully slow. It only took 28 COPs to get recognition that we need to transition from fossil fuels to protect the climate. What must we wait for COP 50 for?
Have a wonderful 2024, and bring us more great stories, great news, and great hope.

Thanks so much for the lovely message Ronan and indeed, I wish the exact same for 2024!
