Detachment and the end of limbo, sort of...too

[Phoebe]

I am so happy to see you again, Sparrow Hawk! We've both kind of gone missing, haven't we? I've been missing you!

I must not be looking in the right places, because when I look up the speaker, I seem to only be finding her web site which wants me to buy her book(s). I'm not sure that is what I'm looking for, based on what you mentioned. I was hoping to find a couple articles she wrote or a blog or something. I'll have to keep looking.

I absolutely agree that we need to be good with ourselves before we can be good for others. I know I jumped the gun on that one, but it is what is. Another bell that can't be unrung.

I agree that we both have a long ways yet to go on this journey, and I know that I, for one, could definitely use a friend along the way, so I hope that you'll stick around, and I'll try to control my chaos a bit better, too, so I can check in a bit more regularly, too.

I am working on my physical well-being, but not feeling any better today. I was so tired out that I actually slept 10 hours last night. (Amazing) Today I have a low-grade fever, too. I shouldn't expect much from only 2 doses of the antibiotics, I know.

I am experiencing the higher power of bacteria...

Today I rigged up a small pen so that my younger chickens can finally have a little time out in the real world, eating grass and scratching around for bugs, and enjoying some time to stretch their wings. Poor things - they had to watch the big birds wander all over the place, and, until today, they've never touched a blade of grass that I didn't pick for them and toss in their coop. Now they're officially teenagers, and they have a slightly larger world. : )

I'm betting they'll totally freak out this evening when I try to gather them back into their coop!
