It felt like tectonic plates grinding over each other creating earthquakes and volcanoes and deep ocean trenches. Being inside the homesteading paradigm, with all the things that might be hard or unpleasant about it, is not hard or unpleasant in itself. It is only in the overlap."<br /><br />CG<Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306857757487429447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977441.post-25382244611773962352010-01-03T00:52:08.987-05:002010-01-03T00:52:08.987-05:00Woman, you're crazy.

You had to milk the cow early, hike down, defrost and warm the truck, get home late, get stuff done at home that had to get done, get up and do it all again the next day, etc. How the stuff of your daily life seemed "inconvenient" only because you had an obligation in that other paradigm.

I may, actually, have my first opportunity to know what being snowed in feels like ;).

I think one reason I could see the grinding of the tectonic plates differently now is because we're not so close to it . . . we've been at this awhile and have removed ourselves from most interactions because they are just too painful.
