Your hearts of my own
My serenade through the chaos
A bone of my bone
But what I give is no loss
A bow, to the surrender of all mothers
Be you furred or feathered
Two legged or finned
Be you be us with them
🤍
The fire in our hearts warm more than ourselves
To let our embers reach beyond our own cavities
To lighten the path ahead and behind
The candles of humanity echo in the air
Beyond a single shelter
Our bodies are the altar of prayer
I hope one day I’m an old lady with a bunch of cows I can feed from my kitchen window, where grandchildren are licking freshly churned butter from spoons, where my hands show the work I’ve done, where friends come and trade goods and we still manage epic potluck dinners.
I’m realizing now that living the dream means working consistently hard and keeping the dream alive. I love this new calf, with her I hope to see a legacy of cows from her line that we can keep growing up with and alongside
We couldn’t have done it without you @madrone_white_crow_ranch seriously thank you for being such an open source of wisdom
And all that being said we’ve taken in the votes and as this calf is the daughter of Hamish we lovingly call this calf
🌼 Sara 🌼
Named after our deer friend who is holding onto the dream with equal parts effort 🪽🪺
We love you!! @sarajolene1
Throw back to moments when I could just sleep when I wanted to
In a field
Midday and next to cows
This picture reminds me of the light inside returning as I cast away the shadows of winter
Thawing out to become water
Morphing and Mothering
Renewal and beginnings
As all these firsts arrive, I take in each moment as a new memory
To embrace time like music
Love.
From what’s grown from a seed from my womb
Into new relating
We walk
With love
For love
In love
The braiding
Weaving
Interlacing of our creative selves
How we have changed, grown and moved together
Watching the love take shape in many forms, sometimes formless
Praying at the altar of our family
Praying at the feet of love

My soul seedling
9 months by my side, I love you
Beyond what I thought love was
You’ve shown me parts of myself that were laying dormant, waiting to be called forward to this new version I’m settling into as your mama
9 months it took to grow you, 9 months I’ve fed you still but you are on this earthly plane now, walking this human earthly existence with me for as long as I’ll live 🤍
I am blessed to be your mama bear, protectress
Merry darkened day in this winters solstice ✨🕯️
"Our first family capture 🤍
Grateful to walk beside these two loves of mine.
Hands and hearts as full as our harvest baskets this year, Thanks Sydney Woodward Silver & Tin Tintype Photography for this great experience ✨" @scoutsdeer
Visiting this patch of elders,
like the grandmothers I once had,
providing health for my family is my destiny, with guidance from the land
Softness as the cold sets into our skin,
warmed by fires and the love of our kin
