I like my little cottage on the farm. I have a real house in Yarmouth to live in if I want, but I don't see the need. I'm semi-off the grid here. Simple is better. It keeps me disciplined and makes me appreciate the simple things in life.

Watching Mum sleep I'm in awe of how beautiful and peaceful she looks.

Easter Sunday Today is a special day. Jesus died on Good Friday and on the third day, Easter, he rose again. Mum passed away on Good Friday, also. Whether you or I believe in Catholicism is inconsequential. She did. I was sitting at her bedside holding her hand as she slept. It was very early in the morning. The sun had just come up and she took a long last breath and passed into a better place. It was a hard grueling week for my father, brother, and I. I believe, and pray, my mother did not consciously experience what we had to manage for her in this world. After her body finally joined her spirit, three days have passed and I still don't feel any sorrow or pain. In fact I don't even feel like she's even gone and I realize, now, it's because she's not. This Easter I can only be thankful. Thank you Mum. I love you and thank you God.

Back on the Road Job and I left the farm about a month ago. The farm and I never shared the same values and work ethic, but they always allowed me a lot of autonomy and freedom. This is why I would return, plus it was a beautiful place to live along the ocean, but with all this the trade off was no longer worth it. I spoke about honesty, community and privilege at one of their board meetings that I crashed one afternoon brandishing dirty overalls and muddy boots in a room full of shirts and ties. They received me politely, but on the whole I remained alone in my beliefs, sooooooooooooo... on the road again. We'll stay in the area for the time being. I want to stay close to my father a little while longer.
