wednesday

Wednesday morning, was playing the guitar (happily at 7am) and saw a flash of white behind me and turned to see the old white horse, Sarah, trotting along next to the bus. Luckily i had a carrot on my counter top and ran out with it with PJ's on. When i got it in front of her she followed it, just like in the cartoons, as i led her back to the electric fence. Figured out who to open up the fence without getting shocked and then went to work. Today we cleared out the composting toilet and also put out the old compost around the apple trees. I had a moment while pushing one of many wheelbarrows around, it was mid day and trying to rain, overcast and mist was rising through the trees. People were out in the gardens as i bounced along on one wheel, sweating and happy and it all really touched me. Suddenly realized that this is how humans have lived on the earth for much longer than the way we live now. It hit me so hard that my knees buckled under me as i sat down between the wheel barrow handles and wept. When that passed i got up, hiked back up the hill, cleaned up and had an incredible soup for lunch and some tip your head back and laugh moments with new friends.
