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.

settling

a few things:

this week I have had:
  • crazy dreams (in an odd continuing sequence)
  • work- very hard, dirty, meaningful work.
  • an [accidental] custard pie (which was delicious)
  • lots and lots of shit (goat, chicken, cow, rabbit, turkey, human...)
  • an overture to [self] illumination
  • thoughts on new body artwork.
I've had lessons in:
  • keeping things out of babies' mouths
  • humility
  • heartache
  • receiving comfort from the One who loves
  • material for sacrifice (matters of the heart and spirit)
  • living with myself
  • living with silence
  • what great simplicity it is to live the Christian life. (complications)
