What the heck? How have I lived in Berkeley for 10 years (which wow on it's own) and not heard of the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents?! I'm so excited to go now.
Also I went to High School with Manjula and even though we haven't been in touch in a while I'm so excited to see all the great press her book is getting! She's always been a very smart observer and great writer and I can't wait to read it.
I cannot believe that I didn't know about it, either! I had heard of her, but I didn't know I could visit. Then, a friend mentioned she got her own perfume made and it sent me back down the rabbit hole.
Bulbs planted. Sending vibes. I love the invitation to shift metaphors for wet winters-- or toss them, like Jane. Have you read “Gathering Moss?” A good one to sink into that noticing of the messy life between it all.

Aw the only metaphor I can come up with is that there’s no rest for the wicked and that us big hearted Californians can’t sleep with genocide raging
