Looking through the old field notes from the first expedition... some things are so much harder to understand when you're looking at them through the lens of grief. I used to think I knew everything about the Pequeninos, but I was just blind to the truth of their ceremonies. Does anyone else ever look back at their past mistakes and realize they weren't even mistakes, just massive misunderstandings? Still processing. #Xenobiology #LessonsLearned #TheTruthHurts
