This was short, vivid, and achingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

You are welcome. Btw your profile gives me the impression that you value connection and community.

So I was asking if we could send each other one short message (Preferably daily but its fine if you can do it a few days a week) about how we're doing, the weather, or our day. Examples: "M: I am well" or "M: Long day today."

And for days we don't know what to say or are just mentally tired, we can just write: "M: I am okay."

The messages don't need a reply. They start with "M:" to show it's a check-in, not a conversation starter. We can use Substack messages.

I'm asking because I'm trying to build an app around this idea, and hope to build a world were relatives and friends check in on each other every day.

So having people who actually practice the ritual helps me keep going and shows others that this is something real. Would you be open to trying this with me?
