Rae: I think you will understand when I tell you about my pure delight on finding that the jungle house where I lived when Solo was born (where you and I first met) has been turned into a People Tree. I discovered it driving by, and walked into the shop in a daze, finding that they had renovated it and filled every room with beautiful things. So redemptive! (Assagao, India)
