    Description

    The situation has changed completely.

    Mona, my beloved, has ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), alias 'long COVID'. No parties, no musicians, no painters, nothing—everything is canceled. The farm used to be a place of buzzing activity, laughter, and feasts. Now it is like a monastery, hidden in the hills, hard to find because it is so silent. I walk barefoot through the house; Mona is in a cave retreat.

    My daughter Emily and I are taking care, but we are tired. We definitely need help. There is a big room for you in the guesthouse, and it has good internet, so you can work. It would be best if you like silence and long walks on winter nights. Actually, it would be perfect for the whole winter—especially if you are an artist. You could assist us, and we could share some rare knowledge.

    Max, Emily & (Mona)
