It is indeed a capricious time in which one cannot know where what we call order will lead. It may not have always been so tidy, but we got used to it.
So with a messy exterior, you have to turn inward to ensure stability. It may feel unusual because normally it’s the other way around: when it’s in your head, the outside world is usually comforting with its solid existence. A tree with a strong trunk and a high crown to lean on.
Instead, it is the feelings that are constant. Sometimes you forget it, but people have been pretty much the same for thousands of years. All in all, people are much more stable than, for example, transatlantic relations.

As she was about to explain why she could do something as stupid as borrowing for consumption, she exclaimed, amazed that the question had even been asked, “I needed it!”
The feelings are the same, the situation is different. When listening within, it can feel as if the world takes on a more solid form.
Read other series, for example Sanna about coping with winter in Kiev with open-air baths and new types of tea.
