Here we are, my husband and myself, struggling financially in the most awful way. Really frightened for the first time in our lives. No work in sight. Hope draining away. And there are those goddamn squirrels out back. Day in, day out, gathering 4-inch acorns that just keep falling, falling, falling.
If we lived in the wilds, growing food, caring for animals, harvesting sunshine, would we be in these desperate straights? Do we need to abandon our ways and plummet backwards? And what then? Will the acorns fall for us, too?
I do not have this knowledge.
I wish I did.
