Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

In English, we say: "I overthink."

But in poetry, we say: "I replay your words a thousand times, searching for a meaning you never meant.”

The joys of farm life! Several years ago I went in the morning to turn the dog and cat out of the kennel, to discover the kennel was a winter wonderland of ice! A pipe in the cat stall had burst, spewed, frozen, and was spewing again as I arrived at the kennel. Needless to say a very wet, bedraggled, angry cat was waiting impatiently at the door and was happy to make his escape! So glad you solved your problem and Jade can drink again. Blessings to you and Jill from our Angus farm in Alabama.
