I am a farmer and a doula. My husband and I are recently planted into the soil of East Texas. Together we seek, we learn, we dance, we sing, and we grow vegetables, and I attend births. This blog is the ongoing story of our farming and birthing journey.

this present moment.

You must rest a while and you must wait
Until life's empty reservoirs fill up
As slow rain fills an empty upturned cup.
Hold up your cup, dear child, for God to fill,
He only asks today that you be still.




It's raining. And it's serene and cool and everything is damp to the touch: my skin, clothes, my pillow and my sheets, all my stuff is all wet. And the rain is totally filling me up today and even though I am sleep deprived and aught to be napping even now, I am resting in Him in this moment. Damn, I love this moment.


I think I am in love with people. He's helping me to see the beauty in so many of those my flesh often wants to call "ugly" creatures. And it brings me great joy to love them, and truly love them. And it grows me. I just talked to someone for almost two hours that I hardly know but I love the pieces of him that he shared with me. I feel a bit euphoric and out of my mind, so this is crazy talk.


how 'bout this: let's be changed. constantly.
