Loved this Ruth. I feel so much of what you feel and experience in writing. And yet you did / are doing it! Inspiring!

Oh friend I needed this today. Havenā€™t written a dang sentence all week, but I planted basil in the yard and I hosted a dinner party and I shot half a roll of film and I decorated our patio ... when I add all of that up, Iā€™ve actually created quite a bit this week. Cheers to being an accidental farmer, I canā€™t wait to see what other metaphors arise from this šŸ˜œā¤ļø

In making a life, you tell a story

SO GOOD Ruth. I loved every word of this. While I love some good garden metaphors that metaphor about working words into a dough that sticks, I feel that in my soul.

Hereā€™s to creating slow friend! ā¤ļø

Love this! I see so much creativity in your life from my vantage point! This is so good: ā€œSometimes, in making one thing, you learn how the other comes together.ā€
