I haven't heard of sekki before, but am super intrigued by it, especially as someone who is trying to get more into gardening.

I'm also intrigued by crip time, and what I've read about it resonates with the way my days and weeks seem to run as a disabled person. I'm coming (very slowly) to peace with just how achingly long it takes me to accomplish tasks these days, and have recently come to the realization that I function better when I can do less tasks, but still do them well, than when I'm trying to do the same number of tasks I used to, but have to sacrifice their quality.

I appreciated you posing this question, "What interval of a human life is appropriate to dedicate to this thing?" because it puts words to something I routinely wrestle with. As always, I'm grateful for your writing as it so often meets me in the midst of things I'm processing.

I love these thoughts, Kelly! I wrote most of this before the baby came, but baby time is also very weird! There are lots of similarities with crip time as well.

I can imagine it would be!
