Thanks for this. I could have written that letter myself. After several years without flying, in 2024 I will be flying to see family that I haven't seen during that time. I've been really torn about it but ultimately there is no perfect answer and somehow it feels like the right thing to do this time. This article was well timed for me.

Thank you for such beautiful and insightful advice on an aspect of being in today's world that I have also found very challenging to hold right relationship with. I notice as I read it the parts of me that are individualistic, aiming for cleanliness and perfection, morally arrogant. And, the parts of me that are entwined, collectively arranged, stewarding; that crave closeness to the local and crave the beauty and activation of cultural newness and new lands. Thank you. This will stay with me.
