This really captures something profound about collective grief work. The salt metaphor is brillaint because it's not just residue, it's actually preservative and essential. I've been thinking about how my own climate anxiety sometimes feels unproductive, but reading this made me realize grieving these losses properly might be what keeps us from going numb. The image of tears as an offering really shifted somethign for me.
There are so many times your words speak to me, but this vibrates in my bones. My jaw is quivering with ancient pains, and I thank you for speaking to us.
