From Death To Life In Two Hours
Posted by OrgoCowboy at 12:55 pm |

Joy!  A new energetic peeping sound in the barn as I mosied in to collect eggs confirmed a second birth. For me, this is an encapsulation of all experience. The moms sure feel redeemed. This one is a loud and energetic little thing.  Maddie the cat was in the barn overseeing security.  The Inupiak Eskimos have a word for this: Aarigaa.  Life is what it is and it’s so good.

It just occurred to me that it’s odd in the blog age to read stories in reverse…redemption before fall.  It’s like dessert before dinner, a concept to which I have never really objected.
