It is January 31, 2024. I am alone. For the first time since I was put onto this earth, I am truly alone. Silence can be wicked. But it can be your friend. I have to work on that... Thank goodness I enjoy being out on the property, so many chores to do. One of them is to keep up with burning the brush. I have my ritual. I bring out the hose, a lawn chair, a trusty book. I light the fire. I sit and watch the flames from a safe distance. I listen to the crackling of the wood. I feel the heat on my face. When the fire is under control, I escape to the house for a few minutes and make myself a grilled cheese sandwich with g/f bread. I spread some hot tomato jam on it. Something so simple and it elevates the sandwich to a new level. I bring my lunch on a paper plate outside along with a diet coke. I eat in silence, I sip my beverage, I read. And I toss the paper plate into the fire. It gives me great satisfaction to watch that plate catch fire. Me connecting with me, me connecting with nature, me connecting with that book, me connecting with my glorious grilled cheese. - Marilyn
