I just loved this essay!! A perfect reminder that in the midst of total world chaos and collapse, that I need to keep building the world that reflects all of my values right in my backyard!!❤️
I loved this, Jenna! I have just moved onto a 60-acre farm. I left school and trained as a baker. I worked as a chef for over a decade. I have been a knitter since I was 8 years old (42 years!) I'm an endurance trail runner/hiker. Kitchen gardened since childhood. A prolific reader, but I fail on being a writer!! The other day, while planting in the paddock, I had the visceral sense of, " This is one of the best things you have ever done, and you have no idea what you are doing!" If you ever want to share your favourite/life-changing farm memoirs that would be great. I read Pam Houston's 'Deep Creek' earlier this year - incredible. Although I'm in Australia, the struggles and delights are the same, no matter where we steward the land. 🙏🏿🌼
