Lovely post, Medha - and I'm not only saying that because you so very kindly linked to me! Your fabulous cartoon of my squirrel safari makes me grin every time I look at it - again, thank you sooo much!

How lovely that you rediscovered something when you switched off the exogenous sound on your walks! I'm not doing nearly enough walking at the moment (thanks to the weather, which is currently persistently and unreasonably British!), but it's the act of doing the walking, moving my body, breathing the air and drinking in everything around me that gets the conveyor belts in my brain's ideas factory turning. I flipping love it! It's amazing how something like that can awaken creativity.

Now if only spring would just arrive, I'll get back out there for more than ten minutes (in the rain) at a time....! 🤣

Beautiful! LOVE the cartoonifications, wow!! Immensely enjoyable, your cartoons and your stories. Yay You! Well I feel lucky because I already am a paid subscriber, Yay Me! I was wondering how the very first panel (with you feeling a void in the pit of your stomach) ties into the rest of the essay? I understood the clarification between stress learning vs curiosity. But then we pivoted with you, and went on your phone-free walk and new ideas for your subscriber options... and I wasn't sure whether you wrapped up the earlier panels? Maybe I missed something. Hmmmm - inquiring minds would like a Part II please! :)
