Almost off the Grid

Sunday, July 8, 2012/7:14am EST~Kissimmee, Florida USA

Ten years ago, while on my 18 month Sabbatical, in a tiny cottage in The Valley of the Sun (Ramona), San Diego, California, this was my daily reality ….

HOME SWEET HOME

 

Today I stayed home

What a glorious treat

Far from the strife

And the fast, racing feet

 

Just home sweet home

Working the soil

Feeding the birds

Watching lentil soup boil

 

Smelling aromas

Listening to quiet

Hanging the laundry

No one shouting: “Go buy it!”

 

‘Cuz I don’t have T.V.

I don’t surf the net

I’ve snapped back to the real me

I myself again met

 

Ah, how wonderful

Oh how grand

Just staying home

Loving my land
