Who's Farming?
- Johanna
- Always wanted to live the rural life, since I was a wee one. Now the barn is full of chickens, and the dogs and cats have the run of the rest of the place. Once the veggie garden stops sifting away, all will be good. Contact me at johanna119@sbcglobal.net .
On solitude and chickens
- Raising children is like being pecked to death by chickens. --Anonymous, but my mother gave it to me!
- Language...has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone. --Paul Johannes Tillich
- Life begins when you plant a garden. -- Chinese proverb
- The great omission in American life is solitude...that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit. --Marya Mannes
- If you were born lucky, even your rooster will lay eggs. -- Russian proverb
- When the superficial wearies me, it wearies me so much that I need an abyss in order to rest. --Antonio Porchia
