LJ Idol - Week 22 - Hiraeth

[tonithegreat]

It has come back to me now, that as a child, I wasn’t always the bastion of strength that I mostly remember. It is true that as a kid I spent a lot of time on my own. I roamed the woods, and rode my horse, explored the swamps and paddled and boated all over the river. I jumped out of trees that I shouldn’t have, took risks with 1,000 pound animals

You've done a wonderful job sharing your deeply-felt thoughts on our current experience!

Thank you! I’ve been torn again this season between wanting to write stories versus wanting to blog, but these last weeks it’s mostly been coming out personal experience.

Thank you so much for this -- it was very revealing and moving.

I'm of the opinion it's long past time for this unsustainable system of the rich getting richer to rattle its death throes and rid us of its tyranny... my preference would be without pitchforks with tar and feathers, but maybe that is what this pandemic is doing for us... the dirty work. I envy people who are still working... it's hard to feel all of that on top of being unemployed. :-/
