Klara was born in covid. This was a scary and isolating time to give birth because of hospital restrictions.

Despite this (and despite the daily sadness that Cici has to face- she runs an animal charity) she remains one of the most joyful people I know.

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
