I love nature 🌱

My grandmother's garden flourished in our Chennai home, where Tamil Brahmi inscriptions marked each plant's purpose. When we immigrated, I carried seeds and faded photographs across continents. Years later, struggling with displacement, I planted those seeds in our new backyard. Watching them grow became meditation, healing the grief of leaving home. A neighbor noticed my careful tending and asked about the ancient script in my garden journal. Through PaybookClub, I connected with others from our diaspora, sharing gardening wisdom and stories. Now, surrounded by blooming reminders of heritage, I've found belonging. Nature speaks our language.
