  • It takes a neighborhood to raise these goats

    It takes a neighborhood to raise these goats

    It’s been a year since I wrote about Dolly, our mama goat. Actually, when I wrote about Dolly, she’s the only goat we have. And I’ve been meaning to write you about how our neighborhood is generous enough to pitch in some hand (attention and enthusiasm) towards our backyard goats. But today’s different. While I Read more

  • Perhaps I shouldn’t have said “make every second count”

    Forgive me for all the times I told you (if you ever heard me say) that we should make every second count. Why? Because the hours and the minutes and the seconds are human inventions that only matter to us, but not with the rest of what’s natural. From The wait of the world: The Read more

Say, we are getting efficient with our laundry. When we couldn’t afford a washing machine (yet), we used to wash all of Read more

  • The time we hold dearly

    The more we synchronize ourselves with the time in clocks, the more we fall out of sync with our own bodies and the world around us. The Tyranny Of Time Don’t you want to break free out of the dictate of time, sometimes? I do. The thing is, I’m born into a family that eats Read more

  • Wins, contribution, and getting there

    We celebrate wins, whether big or small. And as we bask ourselves in the joy of achieving something we consider worthwhile, all we remember is that we made it through. But, most of the time, the people who celebrate with us won’t entirely understand all the fears we pushed against just to be where we Read more
