I’ve managed to get the transmission back in gear!  With the combination of the end of cannabis harvest and the tribulations with wild pigs, I had come to an uneasy point of immobilization, feeling cut adrift and uncertain.  Burnout has something to do with it, along with the inevitable feeling of disconcert that comes with the changing of the light.  The shift occurred this week though, and I’m feeling good about farm and focus.
