Mugwort is just like any other grass...or is it? Humans have stumbled upon many uses for mugwort along the way. It's herbal medicine and food among others.
The difference between mugwort and any other grass is that humans haven't found uses for other grass...yet. We developed such a powerful and effective way of interacting with everything around us.
Covid might rob you of some of the opportunities to go out with friends and party and stuff. Our inherent ability to engage with everything around us is still intact. While you moan about missing out on things, don't forget to live your life. Focus on your immediate surroundings and start living.
And we start living this Qingming Festival on mugwort.
