Thank you for this first installment of an important and fascinating story, Swarnali. You have done such a wonderful job of setting the scene, describing the environment and the land, and the culture and worldview of its people. I can feel the emphasis on the bond, the relationship between the Khasi and the earth/waters/sky that are part of their world. And I feel the encroachment of colonization, and all the ways it has attempted to steal this sovereignty. I look forward to the next installment.
Oh Maia how can I put in words how immeasurable the beauty of Meghalaya is and how sad it is as christianization has disrupted these beautiful people and their relationship with nature and each other. It is a story of beauty, heartbreak, and the hope of finding a way out of the mess we have made. Thank you for supporting this journye my dear friends, it means the world to me.
Thank you. It’s heartening to know there are matriarchal cultures still in existence, one’s deeply entangled with and reciprocating earth’s generosity. I look forward to learning more in your next installment.
Thank you dear friend for spending your time on this important story. I am sure the Khasi way of life and their matrilineal modus operandi holds a mirror to the world and shows us where we lost and what we lost along the way when we subjected women and nature in almost all major sectarian religions of the world. Your presence and support means more than you know. Thank you again, I deeply admire you.
Dear John, thank you. You are so right. We have completely lost our way. Last night I found out, last year, Yakutia has seen its worst yet wildfire ever since time immemorial. North pole being on fire is literally a nightmare. The urgency to change and find the ways that taught us harmony, is blaring. Thank you for your support and interest on this journey on discovering an alternate path.
Another beautifully written journey of which I am waiting eagerly for the next installment. A powerful frustration is felt too, a kind of petition I suppose, for peoples, cultures, ideas, hopes and dreams to be left alone by these terrible men (not only but often) on horseback or foot with swords or guns who wish to stomp their way across ancient lands crying out they've discovered virgin territory as they scythe down all in their way.

This is fascinating, Swarna. I'm eagerly awaiting the next instalment. The world needs examples of a better way.
