When I can’t fit my thoughts in my regular newsletter, I come here to ramble, sometimes even eloquently. As a jack-of-all-trades type, the topics vary greatly. You’ll find stories behind my paintings, short stories and essays on anything from agriculture to intentional living to cultural issues. If you don’t like one post, maybe don’t give up until you’ve tasted a few.
Often, I’m mentally chewing on some big things and just want to send my thoughts out to the void, secretly hoping for some solidarity.
Always, I strive to filter these thoughts through a sieve built with love.
Thoughts, updates, stories…
With Love, Elli
Grief; a short story
I carried him eastward and laid him to rest where I thought he would be close to his mother and sisters.
I stayed two nights and one day there, fulfilling the traditional burial rest alone and leaving with the second moonrise. It’s an odd feeling, the leaving. You know that no matter how long you stay, nothing will change. But it doesn’t make it any easier to do.
