This whole piece is beautiful. But I'll admit that I'm really here to comment on the footnote about Sunday vs Monday starts! I bought a calendar from an artist in the UK and hadn't even considered the different start dates. I put it up yesterday and we've already misread it. My husband thinks it might be the death of what little organization our household has. My kids paged through and complained about having to go to school on certain days. "But it's a bank holiday in Scotland!" 😅 Cultural differences around time have always been interesting, and this is a new layer for me.
I absolutely love that Sun vs Mon is what inspired you to comment - you are my people. Isn't that fascinating? I discovered it through calendars too, and I still want to muse more about what it means for us to orient differently to the start of the week. And I had NO idea there were countries/cultures that start their week on Saturday? Humans are endlessly fascinating.
You speak to my soul in its own language. Thank you.
Your words moved me deeply, Melina. Grateful to have you reading along.
