COMMUNITY SUPPORTED INDEED.
In the last few days I've written what seems to be dozens of blog posts, infinite musings on the pain and frustration Hannah and I have been through this year, and reflections on what it's like to feel hopeless in your garden, the one place where there usually exists almost nothing but possibility. It's nice to write in the voice we've adopted for our blog, the one who talks openly and shares their story with numerous, faceless people. It feels like therapy: even if no one reads all those posts I've written, I've written them to someone who listens and I'm left feeling better.However, I have no ambitions to update with another sad post about our predicament when so many good things are coming from it. We visited a farm around Berea yesterday and spoke with a great family whose enthusiasm and generosity was refreshing and exciting. The CFA people have been wonderful, actively and aggressively sending us different leads and ideas––including the Berea farm. Our friends and family have been sharing our links; we're getting in touch with random people who've heard our story; tens of dozens of notes, comments and suggestions have flooded our inbox and thousands of views have come to our blog over the last few days... People, in short, are doing what they can and what they're doing is inspiring. Community is a vague concept sometimes until it unites, at which point it seems to become an army.We're weighing all options and opportunities and possibilities and we're starting to feel as though, no matter what happens, we'll come out on top. If you still have ideas or suggestions, even if they're small or ridiculous, please keep them coming and know that not one ounce of your support is going unnoticed or unappreciated. Not an ounce.- Jesse.
