Among my favourite Hookland dialect words is widkerwep - the sadness one feels at coming to the end of wood and seeing the last section of a path leading out of it. Hooklanders also use widkerwep to mean the taking of a needed action that brings a sense of loss. - #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WOTD

All I can really offer at the moment.
There are things larger and older, and we can partake and be a part of this, while holding each other.
