All we can each and all do, in the name of love, is let go let go let go…. Without shutting down. Global heartbreak global heart opening. The path is steep, winding, treacherous and exquisitely beautiful. And even the path is a human construct.
Expanding your human and more than human bandwidth again and again. Beauty and pain, perhaps two sides of the same proverbial coin? Very difficult journey at times. Love it like a mother loves her crying child. Blessings on your walk.
Thank you for this paean to your corn, your Appalachia, your community, and your lost love. Your grief extends to all of our losses, to this battered earth. Your heart is so big and so generous! May those beautiful corn kernels--even the red ones that snuck in with the neighbors' corn genes--bring you gifts of connection you cannot now imagine, and may you find your way to some kind of peace with the heartbreak. I'm thinking of you with respect and love.
,maybe at some point on here i'll write about something other than grief, but for now its a consistent theme. i'm still trying to decide on keeping the red kernals, i'm leaning towards keeping.
Kelly-- ok, you've finally made it totally impossible not to become a paid subscriber, even though you give this to us all for free. I can't even put into words how much this post means to me-- and the heart-shucking beauty of that corn, and the red kernels.
thanks, I super appreciate the support and the words. I have some stuff here behind a paywall.. some private podcast episodes and some earlier vulnerable writings. I'm still working out the corn, trauma, heartbreak, ancient wisdom connection, so i might be writing more about it soon.
Idk. You could go either way. Depends on if you want to keep the original strain pure or not. If you like the addition, you could just go with it, keep growing it out and eventually rename it if you want.
So beautifully moving Kelly. Your story always returns to the east. Love and community forever. Heartbreaking and heart making.
thanks Irene

What a journey with no destination. 💜
beauty and pain. Sometimes I want to run away from it but then here I am again.

Are you planning to rogue out the red kernels or keep them as an addition?
Haven’t decided yet, what would you do?
