But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12: 7 – 10
Sometimes I Just Need Out
The older I get, the more of a hermit I’m becoming. My life lately has been pretty confined to my garden and my kitchen. Harvesting, cooking, preserving. Repeat.
All this alone time, and all this time in my kitchen has been putting cobwebs in my head. I woke up this morning and cut up a pastured chicken to brine for dinner and I knew I couldn’t handle one more day of this. I needed out.
For me, the gift of Creation is a balm to my body and soul. The weather has been beautiful with a touch of autumn in the air. The local state park was calling my name. It was gorgeous and was the broom I needed to reach those corners where all the cobwebs were stuck.
How about you? Do you get cobwebs in your head? What’s your favorite remedy?
