DAMN
My drawing tablet has been comletely and utterly fucked. It’s refusing to reinstall the required driver. I really can’t get a new one right now and that makes me upset.
Bless the people who give you plants in washed-out ricotta cheese containers. Bless the ones who come to the plant swap with their houseplant cuttings and daylily divisions not knowing if what they have is even wanted (it is). Bless the gardeners who get something half-dead and suffering and plant it anyway, and bless the plot that took that seeming hopelessness and brought it back the following year.
Bless the gardeners and the people who dream of a bit of dirt to call their own.
Bless the community gardeners, the ones who transform spaces from derelict concrete to joyful noise of flowers and vegetables and trees. Bless the ones who walk the woods and forests and steward the land. Bless the people who set up and manage seed banks, the neighbors who tuck labeled packets into drawers for others to discover.
Bless the miracle of it all.
preperations for the long journey ahead, friend
