This idea of accompaniment, if I'm understanding it correctly, is a thing that I've become curious about in the last few years, too. I look at how the people in my life struggle, and how common, accepted practices of assistance and support seem to leave people out in the cold in a way I hadn't fully questioned before. I think I'd seen it, but thought I had to accept it. I'm curious to see how you explore it from here, because it's something that I come back to often in the sense that I can't unsee the problem now that I've identified it. It's challenging to figure out how to live differently--how to stop deferring to systems that have pat solutions that simply don't offer long-term change, or how to be of help in a more substantial way than I've thought I had a right to before--but I want to. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here.
