And how you are feeling these days about selling the farm ... I think you were ahead of the curve there. Yes, we are back to cleaning up our own mess. I have only had a few times in my life when I really, really wanted something which, I can see now, is one way of dealing with disappointment (by avoidance of the whole situation entirely). I do think Mother Earth can use our help, but I see your point, and of course it makes sense, too, and I see my own hubris with the property. I had kind of forgotten I can barely keep a houseplant alive through the winter ....<br /><br />xo and I hope all is well with you LynnCatherine Ivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-28930414325357789662019-04-07T08:21:08.066-04:002019-04-07T08:21:08.066-04:00Oh girl. If only we could avoid the mess and see t...Oh girl. If only we could avoid the mess and see the unknown, right? I read through your acreage saga and know all too well what the ups and downs are of that. You've got me thinking of wanting what we want and the roadblocks that are there for 'some reason' and our roadblock blindness when it comes to avoiding disappointment. Maybe knowledge is all about disappointment and how to either avoid it or learning about how to deal with it when it comes. That's kind of off track for the post but still . . . something to think about.<br /><br />Too, this has me thinking about one line here - 'to help Mother Earth, to nurture this place back to health' - and everything going on in Nebraska with the flooding a few weeks ago. You know exactly what I'm talking about since Sandy made a mess of New Jersey. You can't even describe what was taken and what was left behind, right? And it will take years to recover from what happened here along the Niobrara and Platte. So can we really nurture Mother Earth back to health (or productivity) or is this all part of a process of learning and disappointment and setbacks and does Mother Earth really need our help? She's been doing what she's doing for a lot longer than we can imagine and she's going to keep doing what she's been doing whether we are here to help or hurt. I wonder if she sees the plans we make and the work we do and just laughs. Again, off topic. But still . . . <br /><br />I'm glad you have made a good decision and slowed things down a bit. Count your blessings, move on to the next property, clean up your own mess so you can be really, really ready for that next 'something else'. Now you know the questions to ask.<br /><br />xo :: lynnlynn boweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786375395402917408noreply@blogger.com
