Wow, some wonderful reflections here! They help and do bring hope as Jim says. I love the images you share with us of your sheep and the conflict that is present which you as shepherd help to resolve. And, yes, I would love a bowl of that soup. Thanks.

Thank you Helen, for the metaphor , “medicinal” nails it, and for pointing us in the direction of the brilliant Rebecca Solnit

Thank you, Marydale. Every time I read R.Solnit I am blown away.

Love this Helen. Oh to rediscover our mycelial-like capabilities of reverent connectedness and interdependence. Imagine the beauty of slowing down to that degree, in contrast to the chronic sprint of this time.❤️❤️❤️

Charlie, totally, I cannot tell you how much I would like to actually BE an underground mushroom right now. Maybe by the end of this winter I will look like one!

Hi Jenny, I’m jealous of your mild winter! Oregon is a place I’ve always dreamed about and want to get to one day. Our daughter said that your country was the favorite part of her trans continental bike trip.
