I ventured out to the farmers market yesterday. Like a mirage I kept blinking to make sure I was really seeing what I thought I was: People were walking in all directions some hand-in-hand without masks. Dogs pulling leashes sniffing at each other’s butts. Musicians playing their hearts out on sax or fiddles. And Kathleen’s friendly welcome, remembering me from before the masks.
In the wide open I started to melt. My eyes leaked the stress of the pandemic down my cheeks. I gestured to Kathleen for a hug. Her amplitude engulfed all of me as I sobbed. Then I walked on, still whimpering a bit until my first purchase: a crate of mixed berries. Next, sunflower sprouts..squash blossoms…vegan cookies…the back to Kathleen’s for smiles and a great deal!
