The only noise now is the #rain: a place where we can pour all of our thoughts.π
An excerpt from #MaryOliver's #poem:
"Last Night the Rain Spoke to Me"
"Last night
the rain
spoke to me
slowly, saying,
what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk cloud,
to be happy again
in a new way
on the earth!
Thatβs what it said
as it dropped,
smelling of iron,
and vanished
like a dream of the ocean
into the branches
and the grass below..."

Just wanted to share with y'all one of my favorite photos of my sweet #donkeys and me. This was from back when I only had 2, Bunny and Tee.
They are family to me π and they're so darn cute.
I hope y'all have an amazing ThursBRAY ππ«

A very happy TuesBRAY to all y'all from half my herd. Bunny, on the left, was my first #donkey. She's 21 and the sweetest girl you could possibly imagine. Tee is on my right, a #minidonkey who I adopted shortly after Bunny. He's 11, spunky, hates fly spray, and is probably the most protective of us π
Almost everyone I've spoken to recently is going through some pretty rough shit, whether it's health/#mentalhealth /family stuff/whatever--it's like a dark cloud wrapping itself around everything.
I don't have any profound advice & refuse to shove #toxicpositivity down your throat. Instead, I want you to know you're not alone. You're worthy of love & cocooning in a blanket for a while is so totally okay.
I also offer you #donkey pictures bc #donkeys are cute. Here's Tee, my #minidonkey. π«π
I'm still pretty new to mastodon, so I thought I'd share one of my favorite #donkey tales.
Back story: I've been #blogging for a long time abt my #donkeys, but as life has gone on, #chronicillness has been closing her fist around me & a lot of my #writing has shifted to that topic.
I started writing about donkeys bc they are overwhelmingly misunderstood creatures. But you know what? #chronicallyill people are too.
Anyway, this is a true story:
