I think nanay and I are tuning better into each other. In the sense that I am understanding her and her me. We are are beginning to become more responsive to each other's moods. This is reciprocal empathy.

And because this is what I keep forgetting, what I keep having to be reminded of: I need to allow myself to be transformed by this place: this city, this country. These networks of people around me.

And that's it: I need to be able to transform my somatic experience into her somatic experience. But safely, so I could get out of it. Ariadne's thread out of the minotaur's labyrinth.

And I need to keep writing.
