I have of course been struggling with things on many levels. Anger and fear for my children, being the most paramount.
But I have done the best I can and will do the best I can and now can do nothing more than leave it to God, as my grandmother once did. And some of my friends.
I won’t support anyone involved in this fascism. It’s not much, but it’s something. I will focus on what I am still free to do: enjoy my family and home, travel in my travel trailer, and hope I still have a retirement. And write, of course, though I have already been excommunicated and silenced to a great degree. Which I expect to continue. I realized if we want to remain free, we must keep talking. If they succeed in silencing us, our freedom will be gone for good. I will, though, press on, and tell my Truth until they come for me.
Which they might.
Today is Sunday. My second post. My day of rest. I day I do not exercise unless I feel like a walk. And rarely do much house work. I will cook some scallop pasta for these folks and soak in the tub.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
