Gratitude List: 1. The wolf. Still, she makes me quake. Someday, I think she’ll get me. But she keeps me moving, keeps me alive. 2. I got the job. I can’t think of a way to say it that comes near to expressing my gratitude, my sense of things falling together as they needed to. I will be teaching high school English at Lancaster Mennonite School, doing something I love, using the skills I was trained for, at my own alma mater. I’ll be teaching kids from really diverse backgrounds, teaching a subject that fires me up. I don’t have to relinquish either the poet or farmer identities. And at its most basic it fulfills the two important elements that I was seeking: of being full-time work that fits the schedule of my family. 3. MOON. I almost thought I could walk up the hill and take her in my arms. 4. That chilly mist out there. Makes me feel like a hobbit. I want to travel, to adventure. Bring on the wolves–I’m ready! 5. Poetry. Goodness. Have I ever put poetry on my gratitude list? I think it should be there every day, along with my family, along with breathing. May we walk in Beauty!
